ABILENE, ABILENE, PRETTIEST TOWN THAT I'VE EVER SEEN

WOMEN THERE, DON'T TREAT YOU MEAN IN ABILINE, MY ABILENE

I SIT ALONE MOST EVERY NIGHT

WATCH THOSE TRAINS PULL OUT OF SIGHT

DON'T I WISH THEY WERE CARRYIN ME

BACK TO ABILENE, MY ABLINE

CROWDED CITY, AIN'T NOTHIN FREE, NOTHIN IN THIS TOWN FOR ME

WISH TO THE LORD THAT I COULD BE IN ABILINE, MY ABILINE

Performed by George Hamilton IV in 1963
