For the reign of “King James” must soon come to an end,

Vive la “Honest Abe!”

Then up, boys, wide awake, rally “Wide Awakes,”

Up, boys, wide awake, rally “Wide Awakes,”

One, two, three—hip, hip, hurrah!

Vive la “Honest Abe!”

If the signs of the times we rightly can trace,

Vive la “Honest Abe!”

“Honest Abe” is the man we shall put in his place,

Vive la “Honest Abe!”
