I heard you were a widow
You married money and you loved it
With your heart and with your soul

It was a husband and companion
You've seldom been alone
They call you many names

But you've been faithful to the bone

You could have owned me

For less than half of what I paid
Bought and sold me
Half my kingdom to possess you

For a moment now if that's the only way

I heard you were a widow

And if my fortune is amiss
Then I must seem to disappear
Might as well be lost at sea

I'm easy to ignore
And if fortune never finds me
I will never wash to shore


You could have owned me
For less than half of what I paid

Bought and sold me
Half my kingdom to possess you
For a moment now if that's the only way


I heard you were a widow
You married money and you loved it

With your heart and with your soul
It was a husband and companion
You've seldom been alone

They call you many names
But you've been faithful to the bone


I heard you were a widow
I heard you were a widow


You could have owned me
For less than half of what I paid
Bought and sold me

Half my kingdom to possess you
For a moment now if that's the only way
