I Wasn'T Born In Lincoln

I wasn’t born in Lincoln But my mama named me so My name is Lincoln Tatum It’s a name you ought to know I can’t read or write or spell I can’t even speak or add But I’m really quite charming And I got that from my dad That’s how he wooed my mama Won her heart, her love so dear He charmed her right to heaven And that’s just how I got here I wasn’t born in Lincoln But my mama named me so My name is Lincoln Tatum It’s a name that you now know
