OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Well join hands, circle left go movin' round the set
Go all the way till you're home
Hey, when you're there, walk around your corner
Turn the partner by the left
Head ladies center teacup chain and go
To Abilene, oh Abilene

The moon and stars at night are shining big and bright
I'll find a way to stay in Abilene
