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   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
