I would not be belonely
What was yours would not be mine
I waited for your swift return
Said, "Darling, fly away"
You proudly marched to the horn
If it wasn't for your piercing stare
I stood my ground so forlorn
Dressed in black by Gods design
So kiss the ribbons in my hair
The pillow's bare by my side
I've been so belonely
I longed for you, I longed to die
If it wasn't for your golden hair
Flower of the Calvary
If it wasn't for your golden hair
Lifted me into your life
Say darling come and fly
You courted me with princely airs
You swept me off my saddle
Would not be alone
'Ere to be alone
And yet I shall abide
Said you'd love me only
Would not be alone
If it wasn't for your golden hair
Kiss the ribbons in my hair
For heaven has a set for me
If it wasn't for your piercing stare
I would not waltz in a widow's time
Would not be belonely
Would not be alone
If it wasn't for your golden hair
A soldier's wife was I
Companion for eternity
