lyrics

Well I met her by the river, when I was still young, and her cheeks were as red as that setting sun. But the wine was still sweet from my old tin, I never once thought id fall in love with her then. Well we caught the first train right out of town, she took the uppers and I took the downs. From bar to bar and drink to drink, she was the captain that made my ship sink.
Abigail, Abigail, your love fills my heart like the wind to a sail. Abigail, oh Abigail you never did ever did fail.
My new car was old but the backseat was big, we were shy in the front seat but the backs where we hid. For miles and miles it carried us there, that gasoline love machine that we both shared.
Abigail, Abigail, your love fills my heart like the wind to a sail. Abigail, oh Abigail you never did ever did fail.
Well we ended up in some little old town, after years of just drivin around. She brought me in and she sat me down, she said that she loved me but didnt know how.
Abigail, Abigail, why did you leave me right there to fail. Abigail oh Abigail your love left my heart no wind left to sail.
Her eyes still shine like diamonds and gold, but her heart is as black as that miners coal. And her minds as twisted as those railroad ties, oh I still love her now and I dont know why.
Abigail, Abigail, your love fills my heart like the wind to a sail. Abigail, oh Abigail you only did ever once fail.
