I went walking on Boot Hill Counting tombstones of the men I've killed From the earth up jumped their bones Their teeth clacked out, we're so alone Skeleton fingers holding a dead man's hand Card game gambling in no man's land Well, I've still got aces up my sleeve And I laugh to hear your sweethearts grieve Abilene, Abilene, Abilene Meanest town I've ever seen Out on the trail of the buffalo Come on, all you brave men, don't you wanna go I'll tame the rattlesnakes, make 'em my pets They won't sink their fangs in me yet On the Western plain, where the bullets fly I'm not afraid and I never cry Where many a man with his gun Will sink like the sun before I'm done Abilene Abilene Abilene Meanest town I've ever seen Come on, baby, put on your blue dress We'll ride the prairies we like the best Where the clouds floating way up high Look like ghosts riding in the sky Where the sun is hot and the sky is clear We'll make love on the wild frontier We can roam these dusty plains On the tallest rock we'll carve our names Ti-yi-yippy-ti-yippy-I-yay Ti-yi-yippy-ti-yippy-I-yay Ti-yi-yippy-ti-yippy-I-yay Ti-yi-yippy-ti-yippy-I-yay At night I dream of bloody battles And I listen to my enemy's death rattle Dancing on this dirty red ground The sweetest prize I could've found A little blonde haired, blue eyed, pretty girl Who I love more than anyone in this world And we won't rest and we won't stop 'Til we take this town for all it's got Abilene, Abilene, Abilene Meanest town I've ever seen
