Verse:

Hurrah for the choice of the nation,

A leader so brave and so true.

Whatever in life be your station,

Abe Lincoln will look after you.

 

They'll find what, by felling and mauling,
Our rail-maker statesman can do,
For the People are everywhere calling,
For Lincoln and Liberty too.

 

Chorus:

Then up with the banner so glorious,

The star spangled red, white and blue,

May this, our great cause, be victorious,

For Lincoln and Liberty too.
