Letra de Buffalo Ballet
When Abilene was young and gay And thunderstorms filled up the day The cattle roamed outside the townSleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sunThen tracks were lain across the plain By broken old men in torrid rains The towns grew up, the people were stillSleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sunAll join in and we'll all hold hands Yes, we'll all join in to run the land But soldiers once, long, long ago Rode through the town, rode down thoseSleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sunGold came and went, quickly spent The people broke down and often drowned From wealth and the pain of old AbileneThey were sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sunSleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun Sleeping in the midday sun
