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

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 proudly marched to 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've been so lonely

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 lonely

If it wasn't for your golden hair



I would not be alone
