Marty Robbins - Abilene Rose lyrics
rate meAll you young cowboys, come gather around<br />
I'll tell you a story of Abaline town<br />
Of two young lovers as true lovers know<br />
The girl in this story is Abaline Rose<br />
<br />
Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose<br />
Your memory still lives in my heart<br />
Rose, Abaline Rose<br />
We promised we never would part<br />
<br />
Rose was so pretty in her gingham gown<br />
She was the fairest in Abaline town<br />
Her eyes were as bright as the stars up above<br />
Eveyone knew when she chose me to love<br />
<br />
Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose<br />
Your memory still lives in my heart<br />
Rose, Abaline Rose<br />
We promised we never would part<br />
<br />
We courted each other out under the moon<br />
We planned to be married the first days of June<br />
Then I started drinkin' and gamblin', you see<br />
I broke her young heart and then she left me<br />
<br />
Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose<br />
Your memory still lives in my heart<br />
Rose, Abaline Rose<br />
We promised we never would part<br />
<br />
I got into trouble and had to leave town<br />
Rose got married and then settled down<br />
She was as happy as happy could be<br />
With her young cowboy and their family<br />
<br />
Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose<br />
Your memory still lives in my heart<br />
Rose, Abaline Rose<br />
We promised we never would part<br />
<br />
This is the story I promised to tell<br />
All you young cowboys, remember it well<br />
If you find true love don't tear it apart<br />
Marry that true love don't break her young heart<br />
<br />
Rose, Rose, Abaline Rose<br />
Your memory still lives in my heart<br />
Rose, Abaline Rose<br />
Forever we must live apart
