The Lincoln School Song

To the tune of O Tannenbaum (German) or Oh Christmast Tree (English)

In the dark days long, ago, in the smoke of battle.Ere the canno ceased its roar, and the shells their rattle; In the times that tried men's souls, full of gloom and sadness upward rose our Lincoln School filling life with gladness
Chorus:
Schoolmates, schoolmates,
we'll be true, we'll be loyal ever
And our dear old Lincoln School
We'll forget, no never.
Girt about the Grand Old Pines, Cotton fields and roses. Proudly dear old Lincoln stands and in peace reposes. This is where the boys and girls show their Christian Spirit. What they do and what they dare, let the whole world hear it.
Lincoln School must stand for right; banish wrong and sinning. Showing that they war you wage is well worth the winning. Growing stronger year by year in the the truth that guides us. Trusting in the One above, whatso'er betides us.
Chorus:
Schoolmates, schoolmates,
we'll be true, we'll be loyal ever
And our dear old Lincoln School
We'll forget, no never.
