[Dixielandjazz] Abe Lincoln in parody

[David Richoux]

Hey - I have to get at least SOME points for finding a published and  
recorded song that even mentions Abe Lincoln and is probably sung to  
"Grey Bonnet," right?

I am finding nothing in my books and internet searches - I even asked  
my mother (she has a vast knowledge of old and odd tunes, but her  
selective memory is getting a bit dicey these days...)
