Bobby Horton - We Are Coming Father Abraham Lyrics
We are coming, Father Abraham, 300,000 more,From Mississippi's winding stream and from New England'sshore.We leave our plows and workshops, our wives and childrendear,With hearts too full for utterance, with but a silenttear.We dare not look behind us but steadfastly before.We are coming, Father Abraham, 300,000 more!CHORUS: We are coming, we are coming our Union torestore,We are coming, Father Abraham, 300,000 more!If you look across the hilltops that meet the northernsky,Long moving lines of rising dust your vision may descry;And now the wind, an instant, tears the cloudy veilaside,And floats aloft our spangled flag in glory and in pride;And bayonets in the sunlight gleam, and bands brave musicpour,We are coming, father Abr'am, three hundred thousandmore!
