Patti Smith - Gung Ho

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
Dressed in black, but God's design
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, 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 lonely
The pillow's bare by my side
Yet I shall abide

For heaven hasn't sent 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
