My Woman, My Woman, My Wife Lyrics - Marty Robbins - All-time Greatest Hits - Marty Robbins

Hands that are strong but wrinkled 

Doing 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 

Everyday has been uphill 

Oh, we climb but we can't reach the top 

I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged 

She just smiles when I want to 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 through 

When she reaches that river 

Lord, you know what she's worth 

Give her that mansion up yonder 

'Cause she's been through 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
