2. Laura was a happy girl, smilin’ as the day,
Laura was a pleasant girl, now she’s gone away. Chorus
3. Sixteen years she graced the earth, and all life was good,
Now all life is buried beneath a cross of wood. Chorus
4. Ride all the lonely night, ride all the day,
Keep the herd a-rollin’ on, rollin’ on its way. Chorus
5. Black is the stormy night, dark is the sky,
Wish I’d stayed in Abilene, nice and warm and dry. Chorus
