Lincoln and Music
From James Conroy's "Lincoln's White House
"He enjoyed classical music, but preferred sentimental ballads.
Alone with him in White House, Ward Hill Lamon sang tear-jerking songs on the order of "The Lament of the Irish Emigrant" (p. 88)

The song is below, and it is a tear jerker. Lyrics sung are a bit different from those listed in "show more" which is probably the original poem

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
