Abilene

Song lyrics

(John D. Loudermilk)



Abilene, Abilene,

Prettiest town I've ever seen

Women there don't treat you mean

In Abilene, my Abilene.



I sit alone most every night

Watch those trains pull out of sight

Don't I wish they were carrying me

Back to Abilene, my Abilene.



Abilene, Abilene,

Prettiest town I've ever seen

Women there don't treat you mean

In Abilene, my Abilene.



--- Instrumental ---



Crowded city, ain't nothing free

Nothing in this old town for me

Wish to the Lord that I could be

In Abilene, sweet Abilene.



Abilene, Abilene,

Prettiest town I've ever seen

Women there don't treat you mean

In Abilene, my Abilene...
