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

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
