WE ARE COMING, FATHER ABRA-AM. SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE. Poetry from the N. Y. EVENING POST. Composed and arranged by Prof. A. CULL. INTRODUCTION. Allegretto. 1. We are com - ing Fa - ther A - bra am, six hun - dred thou - sand more, From Mis - sis - sip - pi's wand'ring stream and from New Eng - land's shore; We leave our plow and

work - shops, our wives and chil - dren dear, With hearts too full of ut - ter - ance with but a si - lent tear. Oh we dare not look be - hind us, but stead-fast - ly be - fore, We are com - ing Fa - ther A- bra'am, Six Hun - dred Thousand more. 2 If you look across the hill tops that meet the northern sky, Long moving lines of rising dust your vision may descry; And now the wind an instant, tears the cloudy veil aside, And floats aloft our spangled flag in glory and in pride; And bayonets in the sunlight gleam, and bands brave music pour We are coming Father Abra'am, &c. 3 If you look all up our valleys, where the growing harvests shine, You may see our sturdy farmer boys fast forming into line; And children from their mother's knees are pulling at weeds, And learning how to reap and sow against their country's needs; And a farewell group stand weeping at every cottage door We are coming Father Abra'am, &c. 4 You have call'd us, and we're coming, by Richmond's bloody tide, To lay us down for Freedom's sake, our brothers bones beside; Or from foul treason's savage grasp to wrench the murderous blade, And in the face of foreign foes its fragments to parade; Six hundred thousand loyal men and true have gone before We are coming, Father Abra'am & c.

CHORUS. We are com - ing we are com - ing, Our U - nion to re - store, We are com - ing Fa - ther We are com - ing we are com - ing, Our U - nion to re - store, We are com - ing Fa - ther A - bra'am with Six Hun-dred Thou - sand more. A - bra'am with Six Hun-dred Thou - sand more.
