Merle Haggard - King Without A Queen

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
