Lincoln and Liberty

Hurrah for the choice of the nation!

Our chieftan so brave and so true;

We'll go for the great Reformation —

For Lincoln and Liberty too!

We'll go for the son of Kentucky

The hero of Hoosierdom through;

The pride of the Suckers so lucky

For Lincoln and Liberty too!

Our good David's sling is unerring,

The Slaveocrat's giant he slew;

Then shout for the Freedom-preferring

For Lincoln and Liberty too!

We'll go for the son of Kentucky

The hero of Hoosierdom through;

The pride of the Suckers so lucky

For Lincoln and Liberty too!

Come all you true friends of the nation

Attend to humanities fall (?)

Oh aid of the slaves’ liberation

And roll on the liberty ball

We’ll finish the temple of freedom

And make it capacious within

That all who seek shelter may find it

Whatever the hue of their skin.

 :Success to the old fashioned doctrine

That men are created all free

And down with the power of the despot

Wherever his stronghold may be

They'll find what by felling and mauling,

Our railmaker statesman can do;

For the people are everywhere calling

For Lincoln and Liberty too.

Then up with our banner so glorious,

The star-spangled red-white-and-blue,

We'll fight till our Cause is victorious,

For Lincoln and Liberty too!
