| 1. | Abilene, Abilene Prettiest town I ever seen Folks down there don't treat you mean In Abilene, my Abilene. |
| 2. | I sit alone most every night Watch them trains roll out of sight Wish that they were carryin' me To Abilene, my Abilene |
| 3. | Crowded city, ain't nothin' free Nothin' in this town for me Wish to God that I could be In Abilene, my Abilene |
| 4. | How I wish that train would come Take me back where I come from Take me where I want to be In Abilene, my Abilene. |
| 5. | Rotgut whiskey numbs the brain If I stay here I'll go insane Think I need a change of scene To Abilene, my Abilene |
| 6. | Outside my window cold rain falls Sit here starin' at the walls If I was home, I'd be serene In Abilene, my Abilene. |
