  Old “Honest Abe” we will elect In a few days—few days; The Loco-focos we’ll reject, And send Buchanan home. For we will wait no longer Than a few days, a few days, For we can wait no longer To send Buchanan home. Buchanan is in great distress These few days—few days; His grief he scarcely can express, Because he’s going home. For we will wait no longer, etc. Abe Lincoln will be President In a few days—few days; To him the people will present Buchanan’s present home. November it is near at hand, In a few days—few days; The people, then, throughout the land, Will send “Old Jimmy” home. For they will wait no longer, etc. The people they are not afraid, In a few days—few days, To take for Vice, with “Honest Abe,” A man from Maine, his home. For they will wait no longer, etc. Then shout for Abe of Illinois, For a few days—few days; For Hamlin too your lungs employ, For they shan’t stay at home. For we will wait no longer, etc. The fourth of March will soon be here, In a few days—few days; The time for “Honest Abe” is near, To enter his new home. For we will wait no longer, etc. For Lincoln and for Hamlin, too, For a few days—few days, We’ll work with hearts both warm and true, To those they love at home, For we will wait no longer, etc. And when the vict’ry has been won, In a few days—few days, And Abe is safe in Washington, His Presidential home. Then we need wait no longer, Than a few days—few days, Then we need wait no longer, For happy times at home. |
