Abigail Lyrics by Chatham Rabbits

If You See Me Riding By

2022

[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
I left my homeland
With a song on my lips
'Cause Roosevelt told me
That I could get a job with horses
Well, I'd always been one of the herd
My own mare I did tame
But I never learned to read and write
And I could barely even spell my own name
[Chorus]
But I said, "Come Abby dear with your books on each side
Balance you out and a-steady your ride."
And I set out down the Tomahawk trail
To deliver the books on Abigail
[Verse 2]
Well, we splashed through the creeks so widе
And the valleys so deep
And evеry night I would flip through the pages
On her belly I would sleep
Then I held her up as the heat set in
When she found dirt in the field
And I wrapped it with herbs like the old-timer said
She began to heal
[Chorus]
And I said, "Come Abby dear with your books on each side
Balance you out and a-steady your ride."
And I set out down the Tomahawk trail
To deliver the books on Abigail
[Verse 3]
Well, we took those books in the towns
And the hollers every day
Just to give those folks a place to go
And a chance to get away
And though I was a book lady
I never did learn to read
But I was smarter than the mountains are rough
'Cause I had Abby next to me
[Chorus]
And I said, "Come Abby dear with your books on each side
Balance you out and a-steady your ride."
Oh, I set out down the Tomahawk trail
To deliver the books on Abigail
[Outro]
Yeah, I set out down the Tomahawk trail
To deliver the books on Abigail
