Please Come Back, Abe

Please come back, Abe
Please come back
Please come back, Abe
Please come back

We've polished up your boots
And we've gotten out your hat
Please come back, Abe
Please come back

Well, Abe, I ain't no educated man I never learned much in school
Cept maybe my ABC's and the golden rule
We nevеr read by fire light, we had еlectricity
But I've read all your speeches, Abe, and they sure sound good to me

Please come back, Abe
Please come back
Please come back, Abe
Please come back

We've polished up your boots
And we've gotten out your hat
Please come back, Abe
Please come back

Abe, I hear it's said you're called the great emancipator
That's a mighty big word I'll have to study on it later
Kind of scares a man who never passed a spelling bee
But, Abe, if that is what you're called that's all right by me

Please come back, Abe
Please come back
Please come back, Abe
Please come back

We've polished up your boots
And we've gotten out your hat
Please come back, Abe
Please come back

Abe, what we need right now is a rail splittin man
A long lanky honest feller to do what he can
To straighten out our country, well I know you've got the key
And if just once I could see you pass it'd mean a lot to me

Please come back, Abe
Please come back
Please come back, Abe
Please come back

We've polished up your boots
And we've gotten out your hat
Please come back, Abe
Please come back
