Abilene |
| I fell in love with a girl of nineteen |
| A black-haired girl I called Abilene |
| «Young girl, where’s your husband?» |
| «Sadly,» she replied, «I do not have one» |
| «Then it’s you I’ll marry with your parents' permission» |
| «No, fine sir, they will not let me marry |
| For I am a young girl |
| And you are a man without money» |
| «Then I’ll come by your window |
| Tonight when they both will be sleeping |
| «Outside your window |
| In a carriage, I will be waiting |
| They’ll awake, find you gone |
| Rub their eyes, and think they’re dreaming» |
| And never did they think |
| That their Abilene would leave them |
| «Now, fine sir, where is it you shall take me? |
| Is it in the mountains high |
| Or is it the deep blue sea?» |
