This song is a really interesting song. I really enjoyed it, especially on genius lyrics because you get to interact to the lyrics in a whole different way, which is really cool.
Lincoln & Liberty Lyrics
Hurrah for the choice of the nation
Our chieftain so brave and so true
We'll go for the great reformation
For Lincoln and liberty too!
We'll go for the son of Kentucky
The hero of hoosierdom through
The pride of the suckers so lucky
For Lincoln and liberty too
Then up with the banner so glorious
The star-spangled red, white and blue
We'll fight 'till our banner's victorious
For Lincoln and liberty, too
Come all you true friends of the nation
Attend to humanity's call
Come aid in the slaves' liberation
And roll on the liberty ball!
We'll finish the temple of freedom
And make it capacious within
That all who seek shelter may find it
Whatever the hue of their skin!
Success to the old-fashioned doctrine
That men are created all free
And down with the power of the despot
Wherever his stronghold may be!
