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.

 

Come all you true friends of the nation,

Attend to humanity's call,

Come aid in the slave's liberation

And roll on the liberty ball.

And roll on the liberty ball,

And roll on the liberty ball,

Come aid in the slave's liberation

And roll on the liberty ball.

 

We'll finish the temple of freedom

And make it capacious within

So all who seek shelter may find it

Whatever the hue of their skin.

Whatever the hue of their skin,

Whatever the hue of their skin,

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.

Wherever his stronghold may be,

Wherever his stronghold may be,

And down with the power of the despot

Wherever his stronghold may be.
