King Without A Queen Lyrics - Merle Haggard

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 memories 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
