My Woman, My Woman, My Wife

I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged
I lost control in my mind and my soul
She's the foundation I lean on
Hair that's lost some of its beauty
Lord, you know what she's worth
And there's been quite a lot in my life

If I've earned any here in this life
Give her that mansion up yonder
With love that strengthens my life

My woman, my woman, my wife

My woman, my woman, my wife
Lips that are weary but tender
Lord, give her my share of Heaven
Saint in a dress made of gingham
She just smiles when I wanna stop
We climb but we can't reach the top
My woman, my woman, my wife
But my woman's faith carried us through
When she reaches that river
Eyes that show some disappointment
Two little babies were born in the spring

But died when the winter was new
Everyday has been uphill
'Cause she's been through hell here on earth
'Cause God, I believe she deserves it
By too many hours in the sun
