Camille West Candidate`s Wife`s Rag Lyrics

Candidate`s Wife`s Rag Lyrics

Oh, the campaign trail is dreary 
from Lake Tahoe to Lake Erie 
and the days are long and weary 
still I’m perky, warm, cheery 
Clearly it’s no easy kind of life 
Oh, it’s hard to be the candidate’s wife 
 
I tell you 
Woman`s World did a piece on me 
about how I raise my family 
says oh how she slaves 
while he`s kissing the hands 
shaking the babes 
Time, Newsweek, People and Life 
want to know about the candidate`s wife 
 
Someone in the press said the wives of politicians 
are anti-feminist 
Words like that they really make me 
wish I had a comment that my husband would approve 
Keep smiling 
story of my life 
It’s hard to be the candidate’s wife
