Abe Lincolnis our pioneer;He’s split the rails, the ship he’ll steer,And he will cut a pathway clearFrom Illinois to Washington.The sounding thunder of his blowsFrom Maine to California goes,And echoing o’er all States, it flowsFrom Illinois to Washington.He’ll steady guide the Ship of State,While Hamlinbravewill be first-mate—Sham Democrats must meet their fate:His path is clear to Washington.Inspired with victory for the right,We’ll break the oppressor’s yoke with might,And Slavery’s crew we’ll put to flight,When Lincoln goes to Washington.Our Territory shall be free,Slavery’s curse, with hades’ glee,Shall stain no soil of libertyWhen Lincoln goes to Washington.A “Tariff” too we’ll have, we will,A “Homestead Bill,” with domicil,Free land for all, that all may till,When Lincoln goes to Washington.We’ll wrest the wrong from power and place;We’ll give their rights toallthe race,And stop official theft with grace,When Lincoln goes to Washington.Conventionone—Conventiontwo!Happy pair, in fragments flew;And Bell may think he’ll go straight throughButLincolngoes to Washington.
