Sides face grand square
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, Allemande and weave
Eyes, that show some disappointment
And there's been quite a lot in her life, Promenade
She's the foundation I lean on
My woman, my woman, my wife

Head (Side) couples promenade halfway round the ring
Come down the middle, pass the ocean
Extend, ladies trade
Recycle, veer left
Ferris wheel pass thru touch 1/4
Scoot back, swing corner, promenade
*She's the foundation I lean on
My woman, my woman, my wife!

Sides face grand square
Everyday has been uphill, 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
Allemande and weave
Lips, that are weary but tender
With love that strengthens my life, Promenade
A saint, in a dress made of gingham
My woman, my woman, my wife

Sides face grand square
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
Allemande and weave
Lord, give her my share of Heaven if I've earned any here in this life
Promenade
God I believe she deserves it
My woman, my woman, my wife
