HE FREED LOTS OF PEOPLE...IT SEEMS THE GOOD DIE YOUNG


"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."
"Abraham, Martin and John"
written by Dick Holler and first recorded by Dion
