Based on a traditonal song? Or actually a copyrighted, original in the last 71 years song? Any feedback would be appreciated. DocWood |

He said that when he wrote 'Abilene', he had never actually been to Abilene, Tx, it just rhymed well. After he had recorded the song, he finally visited. He said, "It's not the prettiest town I've ever seen!" |
