  • 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 Writer/s: MARTY ROBBINS
