LINCOLN AND LIBERTY Attributed to Jesse Hutchinson, Jr. (1813-1853) Tune: "Old Rosin the Bow"

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! They'll find what by felling and mauling, Our railmaker statesman can do; For the people are everywhere calling 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. Our David's good sling is unerring, The Slavocrat's giant he slew, Then shout for the freedom preferring, 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.
