Cover art for Abraham, Martin And John lyrics by Emmylou Harris

Yes, Bobby Kennedy. Very clearly. It was written in 1968, shortly after Bobby's assassination. See wikipedia reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham%2C_Martin_and_John

You know when John was killed and then Martin was killed, many folks said, "Well, thank God we've still got Bobby Kennedy..." You know the rest.
