Great nostagic song. What it is about this song that I never realized is that Its like the uploader comment “slightly edgy”. Now I’m sure that is does refer to Abilene Texas, I guess the comment down there means Kansas?. Its an all-time classic and glad to hear it 1 more time. Thanks George.
This always gave me the creeps when I was little—–about five or so. Not really bad. Not to the point where I wouldn’t listen at all, but this does have a slightly spooky quality to it.
I learned how to play this song almost 20 years ago for my great aunt. she died a year later when I was 15 from lung cancer. I’ll never forget this song.
@RIProrygallagher I’m an Irishman, too, and I didn’t know that about “Abiliene” — that it’s about the town in Kansas, not Texas — thanks, from one Shamrock to another!
Got this on CD in the car. Blast it all the time……Fit best in my 1961 Rambler Classic Super……..

Make sense since Abilene, TX is like an armpit.
Makes you just want to go for a visit!
@Mikebb5m Wait…I thought it was about Abilene, TEXAS! It’s not??? That would rock my world, and I’m not joking!

Rainstormsz28. Pure singing. Just pure singing. Hamilton has had a distinguished career that goes back decades.
“Nothing in this town for me. Wish to the Lord that i could be in Abilene, sweet Abilene.” Beautiful!
I don’t care if the song is about KANSAS OR TEXAS…it’s beautiful, and so easy to listen to!!!
Pure, authentic country, one of the greatest songs ever recorded, smooth, clean, gets even better with age, thank you for posting
