(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.)


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.)...
