Mother Of Your Child Lyrics - Kitty Wells

I tried very hard to keep the tears from rolling down my face 

I tried hard to keep remembering my rightful place 

I can't look sad I must act cheerful though you're running wild 

I'm not your woman anymore just a mother of your child 

I must keep up a happy part for things are really bad 

I must make sure our child would think the very best of dad 

Even though I'm feeling mean and spiteful I act meek and mild 

I'm not your woman anymore just a mother of your child 

[ steel ] 

How I wish I didn't have to keep my pain conceal 

There are times I'd cheat right back though you'd know how I feel 

But I can't forget my image there's a little life at stake 

Knows that songs from mama of a heart so bowed to break 

There's one who counts a whole lot more than you and me combine 

That's why I must put every thought of leaving from my mind 

I must pay the counts of your affection with a grateful smile 

I'm not your woman anymore just a mother of your child
