Clutch - Abraham Lincoln lyrics
[Clutch - Abraham Lincoln lyrics]
Oh, Abraham Lincoln
Carried across Ninth Street
Oh, Abraham Lincoln
Carried across Ninth Street
The assassin, the coward
Shot him in the head
The assassin, the serpent
Stuck him then he fled
Oh, many, many, many
People gather to hear the word
Oh, many, many, many
People tremble at what they’ve heard
Snickering drunkards from cover of dark
Treachery’s their master murder is their art
From the temple, grips his chair
Watch the people climb the stairs
Watch the leaves grow then fall
Blow across the empty mall
Oh, Abraham Lincoln, buried and in his grave
Oh, Abraham Lincoln, buried and in his grave
The assassin, the coward, no grave for you
The assassin, the actor, no applause for you
From the temple, grips his chair
Watch the people climb the stairs
Watch the leaves grow then fall
Blow across the empty mall
Carried across Ninth Street
Oh, Abraham Lincoln
Carried across Ninth Street
The assassin, the coward
Shot him in the head
The assassin, the serpent
Stuck him then he fled
Oh, many, many, many
People gather to hear the word
Oh, many, many, many
People tremble at what they’ve heard
Snickering drunkards from cover of dark
Treachery’s their master murder is their art
From the temple, grips his chair
Watch the people climb the stairs
Watch the leaves grow then fall
Blow across the empty mall
Oh, Abraham Lincoln, buried and in his grave
Oh, Abraham Lincoln, buried and in his grave
The assassin, the coward, no grave for you
The assassin, the actor, no applause for you
From the temple, grips his chair
Watch the people climb the stairs
Watch the leaves grow then fall
Blow across the empty mall
