Marty Robbins Abilene Rose Lyrics:
All you young cowboys come gather around
I'll tell you a story of Abilene town
Of two young lovers as true lovers know
The girl in this story is Abilene Rose

Rose Rose Abilene Rose your mem'ry still lives in my heart
Rose Abilene Rose we promised we never would part

Rose was so pretty in her gingham gown
She was the fairest in Abilene town
Her eyes were as bright as the stars up above
Every one knew when she chose me to love

Rose Rose Abilene Rose...

We courted each other out under the moon

We planned to be married the first day of June
Then I started drinking and gambling you see
I broke her young heart and then she left me

Rose Rose Abilene Rose...

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 Abilene Rose...

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 Abilene Rose your mem'ry still lives in my heart
Rose Abilene Rose forever we must live apart
