Lincoln and Liberty

Verse 1:

Hurrah for the choice of the nation!

Our chieftain 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!

Then up with our banner so glorious,

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

We'll fight till our flag is victorious,

For Lincoln and Liberty too!

Verse 2:

Come all you true friends of the nation

Attend to humanity's call

Come aid of the slaves' liberation

And roll on the liberty ball

And roll on the liberty ball

And roll on the liberty ball

Come aid of the slaves' liberation

And roll on the liberty ball

Verse 3:

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.

Whatever the hue of their skin.

Whatever the hue of their skin.

That all who seek shelter may find it

Whatever the hue of their skin.

Verse 4:

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.

Wherever his stronghold may be.

Wherever his stronghold may be.

And down with the power of the despot

Wherever his stronghold may be.
