Hugo And Luigi - Young Abe Lincoln lyrics

rate me

Raised up in Kentucky<br />

In a cabin cold and bare<br />

Reading by the fireside<br />

He got his learning there<br />

<br />

Earned his keep by splitting logs<br />

He grew so lean and strong<br />

He could fight against a bully<br />

Or turn right a mighty wrong<br />

<br />

Young Abe Lincoln<br />

Loved all the people<br />

Oh, what a wonderous man was he<br />

What a plain, what a humble man was he<br />

<br />

Then he went to Springfield<br />

Started practicing the law<br />

Folks began to know his name<br />

From Maine to Arkansas<br />

<br />

But when the people called him<br />

Into politics, he went<br />

'Cause he had a date with destiny<br />

To be the President<br />

<br />

Young Abe Lincoln<br />

Loved all the people<br />

Oh, what a wonderous man was he<br />

And his name will remain in memory<br />

<br />

When he was elected<br />

O'er his country to preside<br />

Rich or poor, to everyone<br />

His door was open wide<br />

<br />

And when he felt the sorrow<br />

Of a nation in distress<br />

What he said will live forever<br />

In the Gettysburg Address<br />

<br />

Young Abe Lincoln<br />

Loved all the people<br />

Oh, what a wonderous man was he<br />

What a kind, what an honest man was he<br />

<br />

Then one dark and fateful night<br />

That history will recall<br />

He went to the theater<br />

In his silk hat and his shawl<br />

<br />

There a shot was fired<br />

By a scoundrel known as Booth<br />

And Abe Lincoln died because<br />

He stood for liberty and truth<br />

<br />

Young Abe Lincoln<br />

Loved all the people<br />

Oh, what a wonderous man was he<br />

Gave his life so that<br />

People could be free<br />

<br />

Down in Washington<br />

There stands a monument today<br />

People come to honor him<br />

From near and far away<br />

<br />

And though it's nigh a century<br />

That he's been dead and gone<br />

His truth goes marching on
