Grey DeLisle - 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 j**el 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 j**el of Abilene. Alabaster shoulders and curls of river gold They decorate the maiden With the heart as black as coal.
