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 belonely

If 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 mine

If 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 calvary

You swept me off my saddle

Lifted me into your life

A soldier's wife was I

You marched proudly for the horn

I prayed for your swift return

I waited for you so forlorn

'ere to be alone

I 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 eternity

So kiss the ribbons in my hair

Say darling come and fly.

If it wasn't for your golden hair

I would not be alonely

If it wasn't for your golden hair.
