Marty Robbins - Abilene Rose Lyrics
All you young cowboys, come gather aroundI'll tell you a story of Abaline townOf two young lovers as true lovers knowThe girl in this story is Abaline RoseRose, Rose, Abaline RoseYour memory still lives in my heartRose, Abaline RoseWe promised we never would partRose was so pretty in her gingham gownShe was the fairest in Abaline townHer eyes were as bright as the stars up aboveEveyone knew when she chose me to loveRose, Rose, Abaline RoseYour memory still lives in my heartRose, Abaline RoseWe promised we never would partWe courted each other out under the moonWe planned to be married the first days of JuneThen I started drinkin' and gamblin', you seeI broke her young heart and then she left meRose, Rose, Abaline RoseYour memory still lives in my heartRose, Abaline RoseWe promised we never would partI got into trouble and had to leave townRose got married and then settled downShe was as happy as happy could beWith her young cowboy and their familyRose, Rose, Abaline RoseYour memory still lives in my heartRose, Abaline RoseWe promised we never would partThis is the story I promised to tellAll you young cowboys, remember it wellIf you find true love don't tear it apartMarry that true love don't break her young heartRose, Rose, Abaline RoseYour memory still lives in my heartRose, Abaline RoseForever we must live apart
