ABRAHAM, MARTIN AND JOHN   Letra e Música - Dick Holler   Intérprete - Jackie "Moms" Mabley   1968         Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham? Can you tell me where he's gone? He freed a lotta people but it seems the good they die young  I just looked around and he's gone     Has anybody here seen my old friend John? Can you tell me tell me where he's gone? He freed a lotta people but it seems the good they die young I just looked around and he's gone       Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin Luther? Can you tell me tell me  where he's gone? You know he freed a lotta people but it seems the good they die young I just looked around and he's gone Didn't you love the things that 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 Has anybody here seen my old friend Bobby? Can you tell me where he's gone? I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill With Abraham, Martin, and John.       Pesquisa e formatação: Ida Aranha   mario.capelluto@globo.com http://www.sabercultural.com
