song: Mr. Lincoln

by: hank williams Jr.

A E D

Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here

A E D

The Republics changed alot in a hundred years

A E D

I don't think its working like you planned

A E D

Mr Lincoln we sure could use a hand

Verse:

D A G

I just read the headlines in the Nashville News

D A G

And I wish i made this up but im afraid its true

D A G

Cause a man was murdered for his money in the street D A G

He was takin his wife to a nice place to eat

D A G

When they caught the man he did 23 months of time

A G

He plead insanity like they do now all the time

D A G

Sir what would you have done in 1859

D A G

now if you shoot someone sir you can get off scott free

D A G

its the latest thing mr Lincoln can you believe

D A G

Now they sue the manufactures of the guns

D A E

aint the law changed alot since 1861

Repeat chorus

D A G

I just heard the new story on the radio

D A G

they let dangerous men outta prison now yes sir im afraid its so

D A G

cause theyre overcrowded and it was only his fifth offense

D A G

and this time hes killed someone does that make any sense

D A G

Now my lawyer called me about a nuisance case

D A G

Cause everybody sues over any little thing these days

D A G

well at least we're right all we gotta do is tell the truth

D A G

he said youre living in the past you romantic fool

D A G

i said you got that right i lean toward the older ways

D A E

And theres damn few back woods lawyers left today

repeat chorus 2x
