Patty Smith Libbie's Song
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 If it wasn't for your piercing stare I would not be belonelyIf it wasn't for your piercing stare I would not be alone I would not waltz in a widow's line What was yours would not be mineIf 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 CalvaryYou swept me off my saddle Lifted me into your life A soldier's wife was I You marched proudly for the hornI prayed for your swift return I waited for you so forlorn 'Ere to be aloneI longed for you, I longed to die I was so belonely The pillow's bare by my side And yet I shall abide For heaven has aset for me Companion for eternitySo kiss the ribbons in my hair Say darling come and fly If it wasn't for your golden hairI would not be alonelyIf it wasn't for your golden hair
