Abilene, Abilene.  Prettiest town I've ever seen.

I sit alone most every night.

Don't I wish they were carrying me

Back to Abilene, my Abilene.


Abilene, Abilene.  Prettiest town that I'v ever seen.
Women there don't treat you mean, in Abilene, my Abilene.
Crowded city there ain't nothing free
Nothing in this town for me
Wish to the Lord that I could be
In Abilene, my Abilene.

(This is better played in accompaniament
 than solo.)
