Williams, Andy - Abraham, Martin & John Lyrics






Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of 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 a lot of 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 a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked 'round 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, and it's a-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.

  1. C.... M....

    I absolutely love Andy Williams! This is one my favorite songs and without a doubt the best version ever!

  2. N.... T....

    One of the greatest songs ever written, sung so beautifully by a classic artist (my mom's all-time favorite). His pause in the last verse - after singing "my old friend Bobby" - is one of the most poignant and heartbreaking moments I've ever seen in a musical performance. His timing is absolutely perfect; without being overly dramatic or maudlin, he's letting us know that this last loss, in particular, was very personal to him. For the rest of us, who never knew any of the song's subjects, it was also personal, and somehow seems even more so now. Some voids are never filled.

  3. R.... C....

    Andy did this GREAT song good. Thank you and rip Andy

    John 13: 34, 35 - (Jesus speaking) A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE YOU, THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER, EVEN AS I HAVE ALSO LOVED YOU. BY THIS SHALL ALL MEN (AND WOMEN) KNOW YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES, BECAUSE YOU HAVE FOR ONE ANOTHER.

    One of my favourite songs and one of the loveliest songs ever written. To hear and see Andy Williams perform it is perhaps perpetually priceless.Tks yootami. RIP Andy Williams

  22. r.... ....

    This is a really beautiful version of this song. Andy Williams was particularly close to Bobby and Ethel Kennedy. He performed a very stirring version of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" at Bobby's funeral. By the way, if anyone ever tries to tell you that the 60s were all "peace and love," as someone who was in elementary school at the time I can tell you that what I remember mostly are these horrific, senseless acts of violence that took the best and brightest leaders. What a waste.

  23. N.... B....

    @79JennaQ yes. Bobby died June 6, 1968.

    it would be kind of weird for someone to write a song about his death before he died lol.

  24. I.... H....

    Amazing man amazing voice.
    He seems to make very little effort when he sings.

  25. t.... o....

    Lovely. Thanks.

    @yootami Hey Yootami, you are awesome. Where did you get all these Andy Williams' songs from? You're the only one on youtube uploading so many material from one of the greatest vocalists ever, good music taste. Btw what country are you from?

    @beatleoyaji さん こんばんは^^
    しっとりとした味わい深い歌ですよね。アンディはこの年にレコーディングしていてアメリカで昨年発売されたベスト盤にも収録されていました。
    この季節に聴くにはピッタリの歌ですね。
    コメントありがとうございました♪

  29. b.... ....

    秋の夜長にしっとりと聴くにはピッタリの 曲ですね。(=^_^=ゞ
    上手く歌う歌手は沢山いますが歌に「味」を感じさせてくれる歌手ってなかなかいないですよね。
    彼はやはり持ってるものが違います、素晴らしいですね。

    @Glory7D さん コメントありがとうございます^^
    フォークロック調のいい歌ですよね。アンディのアルバムで聴いた時から好きな曲です。
    夏から秋を通り越して冬になったような天候ですが、いい音楽は季節の移り変わりを忘れさせてくれます♪

    @29gettingbetter さん こんばんは^^
    いい歌ですよね・・・アンディのアルバムではラストナンバーとして唄われていました。さすが60年代の声といわれたシンガーです。
    秋も深まり、音楽をじっくり聞く季節です。Beatlesの赤盤、青盤のリマスターCDも発売され今日もアンディとBeatlesの曲をipodで聴いていました。どちらもいつ聴いても素晴らしいアーティストです♪
