Young Abe Lincoln

Young Abe Lincoln was a poor man’s son,

Never knew when his work was done.

Made his way by honest toil,

Grew up tall in sun and soil.

Young Abe Lincoln was his name,

Strong Abe Lincoln he became.

Young Abe Lincoln learned to read at night,

Lying close to the fireside light.

Never had much time to play,

Working thro’ the night and day.

Young Abe Lincoln was his name,

Hardship great he overcame.

Young Abe Lincoln grew to be a man,

Chosen head of this great land.

Served his country long and well,

Now our songs his story tell.

Young Abe Lincoln won great fame,

Loved and honored is his name.
