Bill Anderson - Abilene

(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.)...
