Libbie's Song

If it wasn't for your golden hair
 I would not be lonely
 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 lonely
 If it wasn't for your piercing stare
 I would not be alone
 I would not waltz in widow's time
 Dressed in black, but God's design
 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, fly away
 ♪
 Flower of the Calvary
 You swept me off my saddle
 Lifted me into your life
 A soldier's wife was I
 You proudly marched to the horn
 I waited for your swift return
 I stood my ground so forlorn
 'Ere to be alone
 ♪
 I longed for you, I longed to die
 I've been so lonely
 The pillow's bare by my side
 Yet I shall abide
 For heaven hasn't sent 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 lonely
 If it wasn't for your golden hair
 I would not be alone
