For they will wait no longer, etc.
Then shout for Abe of Illinois,
For a few days—few days;
For Hamlin too your lungs employ,
For they shan’t stay at home.
For we will wait no longer, etc.
The fourth of March will soon be here,
In a few days—few days;
The time for “Honest Abe” is near,
To enter his new home.
