Hugo And Luigi - Young Abe Lincoln lyrics
Your rating:
Raised up in Kentucky In a cabin cold and bare Reading by the fireside He got his learning there Earned his keep by splitting logs He grew so lean and strong He could fight against a bully Or turn right a mighty wrong Young Abe Lincoln Loved all the people Oh, what a wonderous man was he What a plain, what a humble man was he Then he went to Springfield Started practicing the law Folks began to know his name From Maine to Arkansas But when the people called him Into politics, he went 'Cause he had a date with destiny To be the President Young Abe Lincoln Loved all the people Oh, what a wonderous man was he And his name will remain in memory When he was elected O'er his country to preside Rich or poor, to everyone His door was open wide And when he felt the sorrow Of a nation in distress What he said will live forever In the Gettysburg Address Young Abe Lincoln Loved all the people Oh, what a wonderous man was he What a kind, what an honest man was he Then one dark and fateful night That history will recall He went to the theater In his silk hat and his shawl There a shot was fired By a scoundrel known as Booth And Abe Lincoln died because He stood for liberty and truth Young Abe Lincoln Loved all the people Oh, what a wonderous man was he Gave his life so that People could be free Down in Washington There stands a monument today People come to honor him From near and far away And though it's nigh a century That he's been dead and gone His truth goes marching on
