Walkabouts - Buffalo Ballet lyrics

rate me

When abilene was young and gay

When abilene was young and gay

And thunder storms filled up the days

And thunder storms filled up the days

The cattle roam outside the town

The cattle roam outside the town

Sleeping in the midday sun x4

Sleeping in the midday sun x4

Then tracks were laid across the plain

Then tracks were laid across the plain

By broken old men in torrid rain

By broken old men in torrid rain

The towns grew upand the people were still

The towns grew upand the people were still

Sleeping in the midday sun x4

Sleeping in the midday sun x4

We all joined in

We all joined in

(and) we all joined hands

(and) we all joined hands

We all joined in

We all joined in

To help run this land

To help run this land

Then the soldiers camelong long ago

Then the soldiers camelong long ago

Rode through the town

Rode through the town

And mowed down those

And mowed down those

Sleeping in the midday sun x4

Sleeping in the midday sun x4

Gold came and wentquickly spent

Gold came and wentquickly spent

And the people broke down

And the people broke down

And often drowned

And often drowned

From the wealth and the pain

From the wealth and the pain

Of old abilene

Of old abilene

Sleeping in the midday sun x8

Sleeping in the midday sun x8
