03 May 01 - 01:17 AM (#454494) Subject: 'Abiline' From: Bugsy I'm trying to get hold of the lyrics to Abiline. Goes something like: Abiline, Abiline, Pretties town I've ever seen Gals down there don't treat you mean, In Abiline, my Abiline. I sit alone most every night And watch the trains as they roll out of sight Wish that one would carry me right to Abiline, my Abiline Does anyone know of any more verses to this song? CHeers Bugsy |

Crowded city, ain't nothin free, Nothin in this town for me Wish to the lord that I could be In Abiline, my Abiline
Wrote another myself, but that obviously wouldn't be considered part of the original. |

03 May 01 - 08:11 AM (#454617) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Abiline' From: catspaw49 Well Bugsy............There have been a number of threads like this one and "Abilene" is in the DT as well. For more good stuff, type Abilene (of all things) into the "Forum and DT Search" box and you'll find some other stuff too. Spaw |

03 May 01 - 08:25 AM (#454631) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Abiline' From: Bugsy Yeah Spaw, I typed in Abiline in the forum/dt box and got nothing. In the DT if you click on Abiline, you get a Blind Blake song Called YAS YAS YAS! Still thanks for the link. It gives me some new verses there. CHeers Bugsy |

03 May 01 - 09:38 AM (#454695) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Abiline' From: Sorcha The problem might be due to the fact that it is spelled Abeline, not Abilene, bugsy. That's how spaw spelled it to find it. Also, a lot of times you have to keep clicking on the "Next Page" option to find exactly what you are looking for. |

Cheers

03 May 01 - 09:51 PM (#455308) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Abiline' From: Sorcha 1) I goobered up the spelling too, now I'm not sure what it is. 2)I don't know. It's about Abeline, Texas and I have only been to Abeline, KS. 3)No, Abeline, KS is NOT the prettiest town I have ever seen. (however the hell you spell it!, lol) 4)I think the prettiest town I have ever seen is probably Cuernavaca, Mexico, with Galveston, Texas a close second. Gotta remember, tho, I wasn't on a long,dusty trail drive. ANY town would look good after one of those, no? |
