I went to a meeting you see,
Brought my wife to help her faith with me.
Now she is just a memory of someone that I knew.
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Traill?
Do you know what it's like on the inside?
Don't keep her long, you'll cause me to backslide, Mr. Traill.
I keep straining my ears to hear the phone.
Thinking maybe she will come back to me,
or should I give up and go cry and to bed,
thinking she who once existed must be dead for me.
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Traill?
Do you know what it's like on the inside?
Don't keep her long, you'll cause me to backslide, Mr. Traill.
And even if she comes back to me,
there is something I would like you all to see.
She wouldn't be the person that I knew.
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Traill?
Do you know what it's like on the inside?
Don't keep her long, you'll cause me to backslide, Mr. Traill
