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
G
If it wasn't for your piercing stare
D              G  
I would not be belonely

If it wasn't for your piercing stare
D              G
I would not be alone
D                      G
I would not waltz in a widow's line
D              G     
What was yours would not be mine

If it wasn't for your golden hair
D              G
I would not be alone
G
You courted me with princely airs
D                  G
Said you'd love me only

Kiss the ribbons in my hair
D                     G
Said darling come and fly
G
Flower of the Calvary
D                   G
You swept me off my saddle
G
Lifted me into your life
D                    G
A soldier's wife was I
D                   G
You marched proudly for the horn
D                 G     
I prayed for your swift return
D                G
I waited for you so forlorn
D          G
'Ere to be alone
G                   
I longed for you, I longed to die
D        G
I was so belonely

The pillow's bare by my side
D               G
And yet I shall abide
D              G   
For heaven has aset for me
D             G
Companion for eternity
D                   G
So kiss the ribbons in my hair
D                    G
Say darling come and fly
G
If it wasn't for your golden hair
D              G
I would not be alonely
If it wasn't for your golden hair
