MY WOMAN, MY WOMAN, MY WIFE
As recorded by: Marty Robbins
Writer: Marty Robbins

Hands that are strong but wrinkled
Doin' work that never gets done
Hair that's lost some of the beauty
By too many hours in the sun.

Eyes that show some disappointment
And there's been quite a lot in her life
She's the foundation I lean on
My Woman, My Woman, My Wife.

Every day has been uphill
We've climbed but we can't reach the top
I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged
She just smiles when I wanta stop.

Lips that are weary but tender
With love that strengthens my life
A saint in a dress made of Gingham
My Woman, My Woman, My Wife.

Two little babies were born in the spring
But died when the winter was new
I lost control of my mind and my soul
But my woman's faith carried us thru.

When she reaches that river
Lord, You know what she's worth
Give her that mansion up yonder
'Cause she's been thru hell here on earth.

Lord, give her my share of heaven
If I've earned any here in this life
'Cause God I believe she deserves it
My Woman, My Woman, My Wife.
