This is the year of jubilee
Abraham my Abraham
The darkies now can all be free
Abraham my Abraham
Jeff Davis says that he shall see
How many "darks" will to flee
In this great year of sixty three
Abraham my Abraham

Now that the fatal word is spoke
Abraham my Abraham
The bond which held the "dark" is broke
Abraham my Abraham
Old Jeff he feels thy mighty stroke
And says the words which thou hast spoke
Reminds him of a little joke
Abraham my Abraham
5.
"Once on a time there lived out west
Abraham my Abraham
A man who doted' on a jest
Abraham my Abraham
The people for this great man sought
And his great principle was brought
To skin a coon before he's caught
Abraham my Abraham
