By Charles Robert Lindholm
He goes to work each morning
He’s up before the sun
Coffee’s in the kitchen
His toast is almost done
He’s not a workaholic
He just likes to work real hard
He thinks his time is better spent
Someplace other than the yard
He does the best he can
And he’s doing rather well
He’s quite a good provider
As his wife is proud to tell
Their life is rather stormy
But she’d never rock the boat
She smiles and gives in gracefully
Then buys a brand new coat
She isn’t really happy
but if you ask she lies
He’s such a good provider
And hides the tears she cries
He goes to work each morning
And she bargains in her head
The provider’s wife for happiness
As she lies alone in bed
