Young Abe Lincoln - Johnny Horton

Well he lived in a cabin way down by the creek

He ran through the dust in his bare feet

But they didn’t know that one fine day

That he would rule this U.S.A

And be the best leader in all the land

Yes Young Abe Lincoln make a tall tall man

Yes Young Abe Lincoln make a tall tall man

He walked many miles to school every day

And no kind of weather could keep him away

A learnin' to read and a learnin' to write

He whipped many men in a wrestlin' fight

He whipped many of ‘em with just one hand

Yes Young Abe Lincoln make a tall tall man

Yes Young Abe Lincoln make a tall tall man

Now he was admitted to the lawyer’s bar

People seeked his help from near and far

Ha could talk a country mile in an old court room

Make a man laugh whose life was doomed

He out talked Douglas or fancy Dan

Yes Young Abe Lincoln make a tall tall man

Yes Young Abe Lincoln make a tall tall man

We had a big war while he was President

Finally won with the U.S. Grant

He heard both sides of the battle of rights

He hated to see those soldiers die

He hated to fight his own south land

Yes Young Abe Lincoln made a tall tall man

Yes Young Abe Lincoln made a tall tall man
