The Jewel of Abilene Lyrics by Grey DeLisle

The Graceful Ghost

0

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
