Johnny Horton - Young Abe Lincoln lyrics

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 (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 (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 (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 cry He hated to see those soldiers die He hated to fight his own south land Yes, Young Abe Lincoln made a tall, tall man (Young Abe Lincoln made a tall, tall man) Yes, Young Abe Lincoln made a tall, tall man
