Has any body 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 die young
I just looked around,
And he was gone.
Has anybody here,
Seen my old friend John,

He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good die young
I just looked around
And he was gone.

    I’ve always loved this song! I know the Dion version, but the MG version may have escaped me.
    I think both versions are amazing. The song and its message remain as strong as ever…. 52 years later.
