Marty Robbins - My Woman My Woman, My Wife lyrics

rate me

Hands that are strong but wrinkled<br />

Doing work that never gets done<br />

Hair that's lost some of the beauty<br />

By too many hours in the sun<br />

Eyes that show some disappointment<br />

And there's been quite a lot in her life<br />

She's the foundation I lean on<br />

My woman, my woman, my wife.<br />

<br />

Every day has been uphill<br />

We climb but we can't reach the top<br />

I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged<br />

She just smiles when I want to stop<br />

Lips that are weary but tender<br />

With love that strengthens my life<br />

A saint in a dress made of gingham<br />

My woman, my woman, my wife.<br />

<br />

Two little babies were born in the spring<br />

But died when the winter was new<br />

I lost control of my mind and my soul<br />

By my woman's faith carried us through.<br />

<br />

When she reaches that river, Lord<br />

You know what she's worth<br />

Give her that mansion up yonder<br />

'Cause she's been through hell here on earth<br />

Lord, give her my share of heaven<br />

If I've earned any here in this life<br />

'Cause, God, I believe she deserves it<br />

My woman, my woman, my wife
