Abilene Rose by Marty Robbins

Abilene Rose    by Marty Robbins
 
C
All you young cowboys come gather around
                         G7
I'll tell you a story of Abilene town
 
Of two young lovers as true lovers know
                          C
The girl in this story is Abilene Rose
 
G7        C
Rose Rose Abilene Rose 
G7                            C
Your memory still lives in my heart
G7      C
R-o-ose Abilene Rose 
   G7                      C
We promised we never would part
 
Tag:
G7                   C
Forever we must live apart
 
 
Rose was so pretty in her gingham gown
                       G7
She was the fairest in Abilene town
 
Her eyes were as bright as the stars up above
                        C
Every one knew when she chose me to love
 
repeat #2
 
 
We courted each other out under the moon
                             G7
We planned to be married the first day of June
 
Then I started drinking and gambling you see
                            C
I broke her young heart and then she left me
 
repeat #2
 
 
I got into trouble and had to leave town
                     G7
Rose got married and then settled down
 
She was as happy as happy could be
                          C
With her young cowboy and their family
 
repeat #2
 
This is the story I promised to tell
                      G7
All you young cowboys remember it well
 
If you find true love don't tear it apart
                           C
Marry that true love don't break her young heart
 
repeat #2
