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.
