Bobby Horton - We Are Coming Father Abraham lyrics

rate me

We are coming, Father Abraham, 300, 000 more,

From Mississippi's winding stream and from New England's

Shore.

We leave our plows and workshops, our wives and children

Dear,

With hearts too full for utterance, with but a silent

Tear.

We dare not look behind us but steadfastly before.

We are coming, Father Abraham, 300, 000 more!

CHORUS: We are coming, we are coming our Union to

Restore,

We are coming, Father Abraham, 300, 000 more!

If you look across the hilltops that meet the northern

Sky,

Long moving lines of rising dust your vision may descry;

And now the wind, an instant, tears the cloudy veil

Aside,

And floats aloft our spangled flag in glory and in pride;

And bayonets in the sunlight gleam, and bands brave music

Pour,

We are coming, father Abr'am, three hundred thousand

More!
