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
