Gibbons, set to music by eight different composers, including Stephen Foster. William Cullen Bryant published one version (with music by Luther Orlando Emerson (1820–1915). Bryant's newspaper originally published the poem and, because it was originally published anonymously, many assumed it was his, and it was widely republished, so Bryant issued a statement denying his authorship. The poem and music came in response to a call by Abraham Lincoln on July 1, 1862 for volunteers to fight for the U.S. in the American Civil War.[1] LyricsSong of the ConscriptsA parody of the song, titled Song of the Conscripts, expressed resentment against the 1863 Enrollment Act and particularly its provision for escaping conscription by paying a $300 commutation fee, which only the rich could afford.[3] One verse ran: These lyrics were printed in the New York Copperhead, and copies were distributed at the New York City draft riots.[3][4] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Silber|first=Irwin|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ph6HZ9_3Ji0C&pg=PA92&lpg=PA92&dq=Lincoln+%22We+are+coming+father%22+Cullen&source=web&ots=r-l_I0R-h6&sig=1-bKZrKzyo6RV4uqgztzPWo7nlQ&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=7&ct=result|title=Songs of the Civil War|page=92|publisher=Courier Dover Publications|year=1995|ISBN=978-0-486-28438-5|accessdate=December 6, 2008}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://civilwarpoetry.org/union/songs/coming.html |work=Civil War Poetry |title=WE ARE COMING, FATHER ABRAHAM |accessdate=December 20, 2004 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20041220134805/http://civilwarpoetry.org/union/songs/coming.html |archivedate=December 20, 2004 }} 3. ^1 {{cite book | last=Cook | first=A. | title=The Armies of the Streets: The New York City Draft Riots of 1863 | publisher=University Press of Kentucky | year=2015 | isbn=978-0-8131-6255-3 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QNkeBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA52 | access-date=2018-06-26 | page=52}} 4. ^1 {{cite book | last=Williams | first=D. | title=A People's History of the Civil War: Struggles for the Meaning of Freedom | publisher=New Press | series=New Press People's History | year=2012 | isbn=978-1-59558-747-3 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BRtFAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA274 | access-date=2018-06-26 | page=274}} External links{{commons category|We Are Coming, Father Abra'am}}
