Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, [D]he [G]liv[D]ed in a cabin
way [G]down by the [D]creek
He ran through the dust in [G]his bare [D]feet
But [G]they didn't know that [D]one fine day
That [G]he would rule this [D]USA
And [G]be the best leader in [D]all the land
Yes, [G]young Abelie can make a tall,
tall [D]man
[G]Young Abel Lincoln, make a tall, tall [D]man
He walked many miles to [G]school every [D]day
And no kind of weather could
[G]keep him [D]away
Learn[G]ing to read and learn[D]ing to write
He [G]whipped any man in a [D]wrestling fight
He [G]whipped many of them
with [D]just one hand
Yes, [G]young Abel Lincoln,
make a tall, tall [D]man
Young [G]Abel Lincoln, make a tall, tall [D]man
Now he was admitted to
the [G]lawyer's [D]bar
People seeked his help from [G]near and [D]far
He could [G]talk a country mile
in an [D]old courtroom
[G]Make a man laugh whose
[D]life was doomed
He [G]out -talked Douglas or [D]Fancy Dan
[G]Yes, young Abel Lincoln make a tall,
tall [D]man
Young [G]Abel Lincoln make a tall, tall [D]man
We had a big war while he's [G]President
[D]Finally won with a [G]U .S. g[D]rant
He [G]hurt both sides of the [D]battle cry
[G]Hated to see those [D]soldiers die
He [G]hated to fight his [D]own Southland
Yes, [G]young Abel Lincoln made a tall,
tall [D]man
[G]Young Abel, he can make a tall, tall man
[D]Yes, you[G]ng Abel, he can make a tall, tall man[D]
