[00:00.15]When abilene was young and gay
[00:10.56]And thunder storms filled up the day
[00:16.39]The cattle roamed outside the town
[00:22.81]Sleeping in the midday sun
[00:25.91]Sleeping in the midday sun
[00:29.34]Sleeping in the midday sun
[00:32.42]Sleeping in the midday sun
[00:38.19]Then tracks were lain across the plain
[00:43.92]By broken old men in torrid rains
[00:50.61]The towns grew up and the people were still
[00:57.37]Sleeping in the midday sun
[01:00.59]Sleeping in the midday sun
[01:04.16]Sleeping in the midday sun
[01:07.28]Sleeping in the midday sun
[01:12.37]We all joined in and all joined hands
[01:18.18]All joined in to help run this land
[01:25.76]Then soldiers came long long ago
[01:33.35]Rode through the town and rode down those who were
[01:38.83]Sleeping in the midday sun
[01:42.01]Sleeping in the midday sun
[01:45.37]Sleeping in the midday sun
[01:48.61]Sleeping in the midday sun
[01:54.45]Gold came and went quickly spent
[02:00.21]And the people broke down and often drowned
[02:06.71]In the wealth and pain of old abilene
[02:13.59]Sleeping in the midday sun
[02:20.06]Sleeping in the midday sun
[02:26.85]Sleeping in the midday sun
[02:30.76]Sleeping in the midday sun
