John Loudermilk - The Wife lyrics

Here's a little song that I wrote the other night,

In a little beer hall down on the corner.

It's about one of my favorite people...he he he

I've got a girl who'll love me more than life

I've got a girl who'll love me more than life

I've got a girl who's closer than a brother

She's my little young un's mother, she's the wife

Well, drink up, boys

Let's have a little toast to the queenie of our life

You can't do with 'em and you can't do without 'em

So here's to the wife

Army stories and navy jokes sound trite

Army stories and navy jokes sound trite

Navy jokes can't make me laugh

'Cause in my wallet there's a photograph of the wife

Well, drink up, boys

Let's have a little toast to the queenie of our life

You can't do with 'em and you can't do without 'em

So here's to the wife

Wine and women and song, that's alright

Yeah, Wine and women and song, that's alright

Well, it's alright when you're single and free

But you're in trouble if you're like me and got the wife

Well, drink up, boys

Let's have a little toast to the queenie of our life

You can't do with 'em and you can't do without 'em

So here's to the wife
