Abilene Rose Lyrics

All you young cowboys, come gather around

I'll tell you a story of Abaline town

Of two young lovers as true lovers know

The girl in this story is Abaline Rose

Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose

Your memory still lives in my heart

Rose, Abaline Rose

We promised we never would part

Rose was so pretty in her gingham gown

She was the fairest in Abaline town

Her eyes were as bright as the stars up above

Eveyone knew when she chose me to love

Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose

Your memory still lives in my heart

Rose, Abaline Rose

We promised we never would part

We courted each other out under the moon

We planned to be married the first days of June

Then I started drinkin' and gamblin', you see

I broke her young heart and then she left me

Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose

Your memory still lives in my heart

Rose, Abaline Rose

We promised we never would part

I got into trouble and had to leave town

Rose got married and then settled down

She was as happy as happy could be

With her young cowboy and their family

Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose

Your memory still lives in my heart

Rose, Abaline Rose

We promised we never would part

This is the story I promised to tell

All you young cowboys, remember it well

If you find true love don't tear it apart

Marry that true love don't break her young heart

Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose

Your memory still lives in my heart

Rose, Abaline Rose

Forever we must live apart
