Chorus  [G7] Abi[C]lene, Abi[E]lene,
        [F] Prettiest town you've ever [C] seen,
        Women [D7] there don't treat you [G7] mean,
        In Abi[C]lene, [F] my Abi[C]lene [G7]

I sit alone most every night,
Watch those trains pull out of sight,
Don't I wish they were carrying me back
to Abilene, sweet Abilene

Chorus

Crowded city, there ain't nothin' free,
Nothin' in this town for me,
Wish to the Lord that I could be,
In Abilene, sweet Abilene
