A King Without A Queen - 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 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…

If you’re a king without a queen
