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

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
She walks alone <i>[x9]</i>

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

<i>[Chorus]</i>

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

<i>[Chorus]</i>
