Dion - Abraham, Martin And John Lyrics






Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
You know I just looked around and he's gone

Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone

Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed 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

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

Dion Abraham, Martin And John Comments
  1. S.... ....

    2 out of 3 are in Hell.....

  2. M.... C....

    they all lied and we have a promise keeper...get it

  3. S.... S....

    I was only 6 or so years old when the late. Great. JFK campaigned down our South gate mainstreet, tweedy Blvd. Our town then had firestone rubber, general motors. Like all hopes and dreams of our great nation, died. "Whiskey, tango, foxtrot!!!" You feel me?!?! At 16yrs old, I had a George McGovern poster in my room. And I quote, "what is right has always been called evil by those who have a stake in things that are wrong." Sadly, nothing has changed. 😣😞😭 2020/hindsight?

  4. R.... D....

    The assassinations of the 1960s was the fork in the road for the U.S.A. If those great leaders would have lived, we would be living in a world that would be unbelievably wonderful. But they were killed & we live in a diminished world led by little men.

  5. T.... C....

    Three of the biggest losers in Anerican history; dead shitheads— burn in hell!

  6. T.... C....

    Not perfect men but I think they tried to make America better.

  7. R.... L....

    They Saw Potential , They Knew We are All God's Children, Don't Be Fooled

  8. N.... ....

    Going by some of the nasty comments on here nobody has learned one damn thing!

  9. 7.... ....

    If you were coming of age, maybe voting age in 1962 or '63, you were coming to realize that great men don't grow on trees and we learn to embrace their words and hopes for the future, especially when they're taken from us way too soon. They were all tragedies of my life; I was thrilled to see both JFK and RFK in person and Martin's "I Have a Dream" speech televised live on a Saturday afternoon.

  10. R.... ....

    US government killed JFk and RK.

  11. M.... M....

    Song. Of. 1968. Love. That. Song. Mike. Stidham. Glen. Este. Class. Of. 1972

  12. J.... S....

    Where have all the good guys gone Peace in my heart these holidays being the last left of the "band"

  13. j.... Q....

    come on out Jr. ,,we know you're there.........we are ready,,,,,,,,,WWG1WGA.......QANON.

  14. G.... H....

    The same, unelected, serpuptitious and powerful forces were behind the murders of at least both Kennedy's and Dr King.

  15. J.... C....

    To all Member's of the 5 Eye's ....What we do is it TRULY good for the people and country of our birth?

  16. h.... p....

    All we have these days is Vulchers and Thiefs.

  17. R.... W....

    I was born in 1949, to me this song is a lot of History, I lived right through it. I've had one hell of a life. JFK, King and Bobby all killed for doing the right thing.

  18. R.... J....

    What it be like if Robert F. Kennedy had become President? We'll never know😪

  19. D.... O....

    Of of the few songs that has a very true message! Very nice tribute- these guys really did alot!

  20. B.... D....

    I once read that 1968 had more history than. the world could handle. The killing of MLK and RFK.

  21. J.... S....

    This is such a beautiful piece of music with the most poignant memories of the Men Portrayed throughout this Everlasting Prose set to Music
    Thank you for sharing the Beautiful
    Photographic Images of these Outstanding Countrymen with us, on you tube.
    You did Good ! Truly a Mitzvah 🕯

  22. S.... W....

    yesterday they impeached trump. my wife & I both felt that all those congressmen should be sent to bed without their supper... yup whatever has happened to
    true American heroes. dion is really not just a eulogy for the 4 men in this song, but for American politicians, period.

  23. P.... A....

    Go Sanders!! He is our only hope for a brighter future for all of us. All other candidates including The Good Ball are all bought and paid for.

  24. K.... H....

    I'm old enough to have known then when they were alive. Beautiful.

  25. J.... S....

    What ever happened to the Dream these Magnificent Men had for our Country. ???
    Whet did we lose hope ???
    Thank you Dion for this Beautiful Portrayal of Abraham, Martin , Jon & our sweet Bobby !
    You are a Beautiful Person!

    J.... S....

  29. J.... F....

    Still a great song from Dion 50years plus later, and an amazing montage of pics to go with it, thanks for putting it all together, loved watching.

  30. S.... O....

    Terrible

  31. 1.... ....

    We lived the best of times and the worst of times. I was in High School when the President was shot. It was like loosing someone in your family. We were in total shock and disbeleif. I always felt the country never recovered its hope and aspiration for a better world. Segregation was being done away with the nation was materialy prosperus. Their is always someone evil who destorys happiness for the majority.

  32. B.... M....

    What a beautiful song, but sad. Being a conservative, I am sad the how the country is today, but I am still so thankful to live in America, I won't speak bad about the United States.

  33. A.... C....

    i thought i saw them walking over the hill all of them with all of us cause we will all be there some day just as sure as the turnin of the earth

  34. E.... M....

    If those great men could see what a pile of shit like Trump can do to a country in three years🇺🇸🇵🇷

  35. O.... T....

    Anybody here seen our old friend America, can you tell me where she’s gone! She freed a lot of people but it seems the good countries don’t last long,,,,,,, I looked around and she’s gone"...........................................

  36. O.... P....

    I was told by a person who was imposter posing as a Federal Agent I was going to die just like my mentor's of these Great heroes but I beat the odds and survived

  37. E.... ....

    How could anyone thumb down this song. Pure evil. This is a beautiful iconic song. RIP great leaders!

  38. c.... h....

    Our country is in decline now...we need these wonderful men back to lead us !

  39. P.... G....

    Thank you so much for the memory. Maybe the US today need to be reminded of this.

  40. R.... C....

    THE MT RUSHMORE OF TRIBUTE SONGS.

  41. I.... J....

    Buralarda eski dostum Abraham'ı gören var mı?
    Nereye gittiğini söyler misiniz?
    Çok insanı özgürleştirdi.
    Ama genç ölen güzel görünür.
    Bilirsin o gitti bense etrafta onu arıyorum.
    Buralarda eski dostum John'u gören var mı?
    Nereye gittiğini söyler misiniz?
    Çok insanı özgürleştirdi.
    Ama genç ölen güzel görünür.
    O gitti bense etrafta onu arıyorum.
    Buralarda eski dostum Martin'i gören var mı?
    Nereye gittiğini söyler misiniz?
    Çok insanı özgürleştirdi.
    Ama genç ölen güzel görünür.
    O gitti bense etrafta onu arıyorum.
    Savundukları şeyleri sevmedin mi?
    Onlar senin ve benim iyiliğim için savaşmadılar mı?
    Ve biz özgür olacağız.
    Yakında bir gün olucak.
    Buralarda eski dostum Boby'i gören var mı?
    Nereye gittiğini söyler misiniz?
    Sanırım onu tepenin üstünde yürürken gördüm.
    Abraham, Martin ve John ile.

  43. S.... J....

    I believe the words of this song to be interchangeable, depending on who has died. But the words "It seems the good die young" still ring true.

  44. A.... J....

    A.... J....

  60. G.... F....

    We All have a dream. We just achieved it HONESTLY

  65. B.... A....

  66. s.... q....

    I can't believe there would be 757 haters of this song - very sad - we all need to be together as one!

    Such great men

  77. C.... H....

    R.I.P. JFK 56 years ago today. Still seems unbelievable that this could happen in America.

  78. M.... W....

    In memory of JFK

  79. K.... V....

    Still play the song every year. We were there......

  80. K.... M....

    Dion great singer

  81. R.... R....

    56 years ago, a maniac with a gun takes another light out of the World. I remember it like yesterday 😕

    R.... R....

    CIA got him from the front,brains don't propel backwards when shot from behind. #coup d'etat

  82. T.... T....

    Can't believe it was 56 years ago today. I've been playing this video for my classes as the closing for our two week study of the Civil Rights movement.

  83. D.... P....

    I was 1 year old when Kennedy was killed on 11-22-1963. Today is my 18 Wedding Anniversary 11-22-2001.

  84. M.... B....

    11/22/63 I will never forget that day...

  85. D.... B....

    I wish we could go back to the days.When we loved people ,now there is so much anger and hatred towards one another

  86. J.... H....

    11/22/19. The day Kennedy was shot in 1963

  87. K.... R....

    Very well done video. Most enjoyable

  88. g.... ....

    The only time I ever saw my Grandma crying...walked into the front room after school, asked her what was wrong....

  89. g.... ....

    Nov 2019; Listen to this often; was an 8th grader when JFK was taken from us.

    g.... ....

    granitestater1029 i was a 5th grader

    g.... ....

    I was an 8th grader too

    g.... ....

    granitestater1029 I was a second grader and remember the TV being on all weekend at home, seeing Oswald get shot live on TV Sunday morning and knowing something wasn’t right. Things only got worse from there with MLK and Bobby. I remember dreaming that Bobby got shot the night he was in 1968 to wake up in the morning to be told by my mother that he was. Liberty and Freedom was stolen from us then and the media stuck their heads in the sand and just let it happen. Shameful. No wonder we are where we are today.

  90. Y.... M....

    Anyone listening? On November 22, 2019?

    Y.... M....

    @David Osterberg it's America the Beautiful in my travels, will forever be that in my mind.

  93. D.... M....

    I am in tears just listening to this beautiful, inspiring song. We are a country in crisis and we can do better people. The struggle continues and it will never end. Abraham, Martin,
    Robert, & John. Men of love and men of peace. They tried to make this world better for all of us RIH ALL OF YOU! 💘💘💘👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  94. K.... P....

    I get chills everytime I hear this this, and feel such nostalgia for those times, especially now considering who's running this country.

    K.... P....

    @Joseph F Danza Ah yes, taking a cue from trump by name calling - classless, just like him.

    K.... P....

    @Keith PopkoYOU are so brain washed and illeterate!!!!!!

    K.... P....

    @Joseph F Danza Classic, coming from a guy who doesn't know how to spell illiterate - I love the irony.

    K.... P....

    @Keith Popko Trump talks in plain english so even YOU can understand him!! get another life...

    K.... P....

    Joseph F Danza He has to use one syllable words because he knows his base. Like he said himself, he loves the uneducated, so you can take comfort in that since you fit right into his demographic.

  95. S.... G....

    This is a Tear Jerker

  96. G.... L....

    great song by Mister Dion, I can't remember his last name.

    G.... L....

    It's extremely sad how far we've fallen in leadership.

    A.... D....

    Yes when we are under Liberal Democrats...Wake the hell up!~!!!!

  98. L.... C....

    November 22, 1963...the day America lost it's innocence and it's collective mind! RIP TO THESE DEAR MEN WHO GAVE SO MUCH. Now look what we're saddled with in office?
