Young abe lincoln

Glory, glory, hallelujah
Raised up in KentuckyIn a cabin cold and bare
Readinh 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 could right a mighty wrong
Young Abe LincolnLoved all the people
Oh, what a wondrous man was he
What a plain, what a
Humble man was he
Then he went to SpringfieldStarted practicing the law
Folks began to know his name
From Maine to ArkansasBut when the people called him
Into politics, he went
Cause he had a date with destiny
To be the PresidentYoung Abe LincolnLoved all the people
Oh, what a wondrous man was he
And his name will remain in memory
Glory, glory, hallelujah
When he was electedO'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
Whe he said will live forever
In the Gettysburg AddressYoung Abe LincolnLoved all the people
Oh, what a wondrous man was he
What a kind, what an
Honest man was he
That one dark and fateful night
That history wil recall
He went to the theater
In his silk hat and his shawl
And there a shot was fired by
A scoundrel known as BoothAnd Abe Lincoln died because
He stood for liberty and truth
Young Abe LincolnLoved all the people
Oh, what a wondrous man was he
Gave his life so that
People could be free
Down in WashingtonThere 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
