My Baby And My Wife 
Recorded by Ernest Tubb 

C
When twilight shadows are falling 
    F                C
And my day's work is done 
                                  G7
Tis then I wind my way back to my home 
        C
And the light I find there shining 
       F               C
Like a guiding star to me 
               G7                  C
To show me the right road from the wrong 

     G7
It's there a girl is waiting 
       C           A7
With a baby On her knee 
       D7                                   G7
And to see them it just fills my heart with joy 
  C
Because I truly love them 
     F                 C
They mean the world to me 
                    G7            C
It's my wife and my precious baby boy 


And when our meal is over 
      F              C
We're sitting by the fire 
                                        G7
And the baby crawls around there on the floor 
   C
My thoughts then turn to heaven 
      F               C
And I thank the Lord above 
                         G7              C
For the blessings he has let come in our door 

  G7
I know I'm not deserving 
    C                A7
The blessings he has sent 
      D7                    G7
I try and try and yet I go astray 
    C
But I will keep on praying 
        F               C
For the Lord To help me be 
                  G7        C
The man I want my boy to be someday 


The time just rolls right on around 
    F                 C
The clock is striking nine 
                                  G7
And the baby is a yawning now and then 
   C
My wife she gently picks him up 
    F                 C
And starts to rocking him 
                     G7              C
I can feel a tugging at my heart within 

    G7
His head up on her shoulders 
    C               A7
Her neck his arms entwine 
    D7                       G7
His eyelids are heavy as can be 
     C
Then he gives up the struggle 
    F                 C
And snuggles close to her 

It's a sight that's worth more 
G7                 C
Than this world to me 


Then when he is in dreamland 
    F                C
She tucks him in his bed 
                                       G7
And side by side we two kneel down and pray 
   C
We ask the lord in heaven 
   F                 C
To watch our darling boy 
                         G7                  C
And to help him walk the straight and narrow way 

   G7
At times this world seems dreary 
    C                 A7
And hardships come my way 
   D7                         G7
As I struggle on through this life 
    C
But my cares all just vanish 
       F                 C
When I reach that little home 
                    G7          C
To be greeted by my baby and my wife
