If it wasn't for your golden hair

I would not be belonely

If it wasn't for your golden hair

I would not be alone



If it wasn't for your piercing stare

I would not be belonelyIf it wasn't for your piercing stare

I would not be alone



I would not waltz in a widow's line

What was yours would not be mineIf it wasn't for your golden hair

I would not be alone



You courted me with princely airs

Said you'd love me only

Kiss the ribbons in my hair

Said darling come and fly



Flower of the CalvaryYou swept me off my saddle

Lifted me into your life

A soldier's wife was I



You marched proudly for the hornI prayed for your swift return

I waited for you so forlorn

'Ere to be aloneI longed for you, I longed to die

I was so belonely

The pillow's bare by my side

And yet I shall abide



For heaven has aset for me

Companion for eternitySo kiss the ribbons in my hair

Say darling come and fly



If it wasn't for your golden hairI would not be alonelyIf it wasn't for your golden hair
