My Woman My Woman My Wife
By Marty Robbins
C Em
Hands that are strong but wrinkled
F G7
Doing work that never gets done
C Em
Hair that's lost some of its beauty
F G7
By too many hours in the sun
C Em
Eyes that show some disappointment
F G7
And there's been quite a lot in her life
C D7
She's the foundation I lean on
C G7 C
My woman my woman my wife
Em F
Everyday has been uphill we climb
G7
But we can't reach the top
C Em
I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged
F G7
She just smiles when I want to stop
C Em
Lips that are weary but tender
F G7
With love that strengthens my life
C F
A saint in a dress made of gingham
C G7 C
My woman my woman my wife
F EM
Two little babies were born in the spring
F G7 C
But died when the winter was new
Am Em
I lost control of my mind and my soul
D7 G7
But my woman's faith carried us through
C Em
When she reaches that river
F G7
Lord you know what she's worth
C Em
Give her that mansion up yonder
G7
Cause she's been thru hell here on earth
C Em
Lord give her my share of heaven
F G7
If I've earned any here in this life
C F
Cause God I believe she deserves it
C G7 C
My woman my woman my wife
