Young Abe Lincoln
Don Cornell

Raised up in kentucky, in a cabin cold and bare

readin by the fireside, he got his learning there

earned his keep by splittin logs, he grew so lean and strong

he could fight against a bully

or could right a mighty wrong

Young abe lincoln, loved all the people

oh! what a wond'rous man was he

what a plain, what a humble man was he

Then he went to springfield, started practicin 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

When he was elected, o'er his country to preside

rich or poor, to ev'ryone, his door was open wide

and when he felt the sorrow of a nation in distress


whe he said will live forever in the gettysburg address

Then, on dark and fateful night, that hist'ry wil 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 wond'rous 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
