Shining mr. lincoln's shoes"

HE'S A TEMPORARY CONTRACT MAN
SINCE THE UNION LOST ITS CLOUT
GOT NO MEDS OR BENEFITS
HE'S LIVING HAND TO MOUTH

IN THE SHADOW OF THE MONUMENT
HE FINALLY PAID HIS DUES
DYING OF A HEART ATTACK
WHILE SHINING MR. LINCOLNS SHOES

THERE'S THEM THAT GOT THE MONEY
AND THEN THERE'S THEM THAT AIN'T
THERES THEM THAT'S SMELLING ROSES
THERE'S THEM THAT'S HUFFING PAINT

HONEST ABE HE NEVER BLINKED
AS HIS SERVANT HIT THE GROUND
ANOTHER SOLDIER SACRIFICED
missing line

IN THE SHADOW OF THE MONUMENT
WITH THOSE MOP-N-BUCKET BLUES.
HIS SOUL SANG SWEET SURRENDER
WHILE SHINING MR. LINCOLN'S SHOES.
