Well, he lived in a cabin
way down by the creek
He ran through the dust in his bare feet
But they didn't know that one fine day
That he would rule this USA
And be the best leader in all the land
Yes, young Abelie can make a tall,
tall man
Young Abel Lincoln, make a tall, tall man
He walked many miles to school every day
And no kind of weather could
keep him away
Learning to read and learning to write
He whipped any man in a wrestling fight
He whipped many of them
with just one hand
Yes, young Abel Lincoln,
make a tall, tall man
Young Abel Lincoln, make a tall, tall man
Now he was admitted to
the lawyer's bar
People seeked his help from near and far
He could talk a country mile
in an old courtroom
Make a man laugh whose
life was doomed
He out -talked Douglas or Fancy Dan
Yes, young Abel Lincoln make a tall,
tall man
Young Abel Lincoln make a tall, tall man
We had a big war while he's President
Finally won with a U .S. grant
He hurt both sides of the battle cry
Hated to see those soldiers die
He hated to fight his own Southland
Yes, young Abel Lincoln made a tall,
tall man
Young Abel, he can make a tall, tall man
Yes, young Abel, he can make a tall, tall man
