Quincy Jones
Abraham, Martin and John
[Verse 1]
Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone? Yeah, yeah
He freed a lotta people, but the good, they die young
'Cause I looked around one day and man was gone
What a shame, he was gone
Listen

[Verse 2]
Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where the man gone? Uh-huh, now, now, now
He freed a lotta people but it seems the good die young
I turned my head one day, thе man was gone
Lord, he's gone

[Bridge]
Didn't you lovе the things they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, it's gonna be one day

[Verse 3]
Has anybody here seen my old friend John?
Ooh, can you tell me where he's gone?
Hi-dee-hi-dee-hi-dee-hi-dee
He freed a lotta people, hm, but it seems the good die young
'Cause I turned around one day and the man was gone
Just like that, he was gone
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Didn't you love the things they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, it's gonna be one day

[Outro]
Has anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
Oh, oh, I thought I saw him walking, huh, up over the hill
With old man Abraham (Abraham)
And I believe I saw Martin (Martin)
And his brother, John
