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