I fell in love with a girl of nineteen
|
|
A black-haired girl I called Abilene
|
|
Young girl, where's your husband?
|
|
Sadly, she replied, I do not have one
|
|
Then it's you I'll marry with your parents' permission
|
|
|
|
No fine sir, they will not let me marry
|
|
For I am a young girl
|
|
And you are a man withoutmoney
|
|
Then I'll come by your window
|
|
Tonight when they both will be sleeping
|
|
|
|
Outside your window in a carriage I will be waiting
|
|
They'll awake to find you gone
|
|
Open their eyes and think they're dreaming
|
|
And never did they think
|
|
That their Abilene would leave them
|
|
|
|
Now fine sir, where is it you shall take me?
|
|
Is it in the mountains high
|
|
Or is it the deep blue sea?
