Biographical details

F. A. Simpkins or the Hutchinson Family Singers,  Lincoln and Liberty (1860)

“ For the People are everywhere calling
For Lincoln and Liberty too.
Then up with our banner so glorious,
The star-spangled red-white-and-blue,
We'll fight till our flag is victorious,
For Lincoln and Liberty too!
Another version, sung by ex-Weaver Ronnie Gilbert, has the variant, and more extensive, lyrics stated below. It seems to be a partial amalgamation of the version above and a previous song sharing its melody, namely, The Liberty Ball (published by 1845 and attributed to "G.W.C.") , which another source attributes to Jessie Hutchinson - who died years prior to the Lincoln election.
