Merle Haggard - King Without A Queen lyrics

rate me

(Bob Wills - John Wills - Martha Dean Moore)

Riches do not come in silver and in gold

It comes in the happiness you find

I place my gold and silver before my precious queen

But now there's only mem'ries left behind.

If you never lost a loved one

Then you'll know just what I mean

For what good are treasures and the kingdom

If you're a king without a queen?

Now that she has gone and found another love

My castle is empty and so cold

For her leaving brought me heartaches that I have never known

And there's sadness in the treasures I now hold.

If you never lost a loved one

Then you'll know just what I mean

For what good are treasures and the kingdom

If you're a king without a queen?

If you're a king without a queen...
