He freed the slaves © PETER ANDERSSON A MUSIC PARODY BASED ON: "ACE OF SPADES" BY: MOTÖRHEAD BONUS QUOTE: "Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." ABRAHAM LINCOLN		Here's one more reworking a classic Motorhead song and giving it new lyrics about something historically important, it's well known that Lemmy has a deep interest in history so I hope he will approve if he should ever come across this. If you like your freedom, I tell you he's the man He was white, wore black, t'was all the same to him The measure of this man, it makes no friends within the clan He had no cotton greed, for freedom he would bleed As he freed the slaves, he freed the slaves Laying down the law at fourscore an' some seven Going out to war, t'was all a bloody chore Linco'n wasn't drink'n, Grant was scotchin' though Lee called him a git, confederates he'd spit He freed the slaves, he freed the slaves So Grant was born to booze, and rambling is for fools But that's the way it went down see, historians go on forever And it was sure a smoker! Pushing up the daisies, the final of the basics Lincoln was killed, by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Some bullets killed him dead, took one in the head And though he's rather late, his legacy is great He freed the slaves, he freed the slaves © Peter Andersson 2005
