She spent the last of her teenage years At home alone with her worst fears When the telegraph came, she did not know who to blame (Chorus:) She walks alone (x9) The War that took her husband's life It made a widow of his wife The world came crashing in, she made a haunt to rest with him (Chorus) She walks alone! She leaves the flowers on his grave The last one we forgot to save A note of long regrets, the pension checks are all she gets (Chorus)
