The Jewel Of Abilene Lyrics

Sisters tell your brothers and mamas warn your men To keep a heart from breakin? in Abilene again There never was a lady so lovely and so mean As darlin? Esmeralda, the jewel of Abilene Eyes that shone like emeralds and lips so ruby red She cut me like a diamond and shimmered as I bled There never was a lady so lovely and so mean As darlin? Esmeralda, the jewel of Abilene Alabaster shoulders and curls of river gold They decorate the maiden with the heart as black as coal
