ABE LINCOLN WENT TO WASHINGTON

In eighteen hundred and sixty one
For bowls, for bowls,
In eighteen hundred and sixty one
For bowls, says I,
In eighteen hundred and sixty one
Abe Lincoln went to Washington
And we'll all drink stone blind,
Johnny fill up the bowl!

In eighteen hundred and sixty two
Old Abe he put the rebellion through.

In eighteen hundred and sixty three
Old Abe he set the darkies free.

In eighteen hundred and sixty four
Old Abe he calleed for a million more.

In eighteen hundred and sixty five
John Wilkes Booth took Lincoln's life.
