If it wasn't for your golden hair
Would not be belonely
If it wasn't for your golden hair
Would not be alone

If it wasn't for your piercing stare
Would not be belonely
If it wasn't for your piercing stare
Would not be alone

I would not waltz in a widow's time
Dressed in black by Gods design
What was yours would not be mine
If it wasn't for your golden hair
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
[From: http://www.elyrics.net]
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 belonely
The pillow's bare by my side
And yet I shall abide

For heaven has a set 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 belonely
If it wasn't for your golden hair
Would not be alone
