Lyrics 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
