the emancipation proclamation hoedown - histeria! (american animated series) lyrics

the emanc*p*tion proclamation hoedown lyrics
[verse 1: kid chorus, abraham lincoln]
in eighteen*hundred*sixty*two our country was at war
the south thought well of slavery the north thought it a bore
as tensions grew the grey and blue divided up the nation
and split in two the results of our founders’ great creation!
that’s all i need: a civil war, and all that aggravation!

[verse 2: kid chorus, soldiers]
then battles made with cannons shot from one side to the other
from fredericksburg to gettysburg with brother fighting brother!
someone had to take a stand and fight for civil rights
someone who could speak for all and stop these wretched fights!
someone who could speak for all and fight for civil rights!

[verse 3: kid chorus, world’s oldest woman]
the president shall be the one the people were a*thinkin’
and so the job fell in the lap of president abe lincoln!
an honest man, both tall and strong, he’d do the job just fine
of patching up the country at the mason*dixon line!
yes, patching up the country at the mason*dixon line!

[verse 4: kid chorus, world’s oldest woman]
and so it came to pass that mr. lincoln took a stand
the document was eloquent and really rather grand!
the people that were there all took to heart what lincoln pled
i was there, and i can tell ya, this is what it said:
[verse 5: abraham lincoln, kid chorus]
as president, i hereby state and solemnly decree
by virtue of the power that is vested within me
that in the year one*thousand*eight*hundred*and*sixty*three
all the people held as slaves, henceforth shall be free!
yes, all the people held as slaves, henceforth shall be free!

[verse 6: kid chorus, abraham lincoln]
the message sent was loud and clear and spoke out to the nation
in eighteen*hundred*sixty*three, abe made a proclamation!
emanc*p*tion proclamation! no more slavery!
then lincoln hired general grant to defeat general lee!
and brought in general sherman who kept marching to the sea!

[verse 7: kid chorus]
the south had to surrender, but a lesson had been learned
that slavery had ended even though atlanta burned!
so clap your hands and stomp your feet and gather hand in hand
freedom’s here for one and all to spread across the land!

[outro: all]
everyone is welcome to join in the celebration
because of lincoln’s proclamation of emanc*p*tion!
