And the brightest gem in all creation;
Old Abe Lincoln O, old Abe Lincoln O,
Our hearts are true to stand by you,
Abram Lincoln O.
When Abe took charge of our plantation,
Secesh was making preparation
To steal the half for raising cotton,
But soon found out his scheme was rotten;
Old Abe Lincoln O, Old Abe Lincoln O,
No mercy show the thieving foe,
