The other day i walked out on the street i happened to see A pretty young woman a little bitty boy and he looked back at me See the big man cry mama that's what i heard him say See the big man cry mama he looks like his heart will break I followed them to the pupshop windown the little boy stopped to see He looked up at her said if i had a daddy he'd buy that puppy for me See the big man cry mama... I wanted to tell him i was his dad and he sure had a pretty mom But the judge had said i could never see them for the things i've said and done See the big man cry mama... [ guitar ] Son as you'll grow older you'll find someone who is dear Just stick by her take care of her and you will never hear See the big man cry mama...
