Wife and Mother Songtext
von Lord Kitchener

If your mother and your wife are drowning
I want to know which one you would be saving
If your mother and your wife are drowning
I want to know which one you would be saving
Well, for me I′m holding on to my mother
And my wife she will have to excuse

Kitchener, I can always get another wife
But I can never get another mother in life

I heard some men saying around the corner
That they rather their lawful wife than their mother
I ask them the reason, this what they answer
They can romance their wife, but not their mother
Well, my wife can be flourishing in pool of gold
But my mother comes first in this blessed world


'Cause I can always get another wife
But I can never get another mother in my life

If there is a quarrel with you and your mother
She may be mad, but still consider over the matter
Don′t care how hasty that your mother may be
She will never try to make that little talk so lengthy
But your wife from the time you have a roll with her
She's gone with somebody to America

So, I can always get another wife
But I can never get another mother in my life

This is what I got to say openly
To compare your mother with your wife is crazy
Your wife is like a little lamb in front you
She pretend to be loving, reliable and true
But go to the bathroom to sponge your face
When you return another man in your place


So, I can always get another wife
But I can never get another mother in my life
