Lyrics

Recorded by hank williams, sr
Words and music by jewel house and hank williams, sr

To-[c] night my heart is bowed in sor-[g] row
I can't keep the tears from my [c] eyes
My son calls an-[c7] other man [f] daddy
The [g7] right to his love, I've been [c] denied

Chorus

My [f] son calls another man [c] daddy
He'll [d7] ne'er know my name nor my [g7] face
[F] god only knows how it [c] hurts me
For an-[g7] other to be in my [c] place

Each night I laid there in prison
I pictured a future so bright
For he was the one ray of sunshine
That showed thru the darkest of nights

Chorus

Today his mother shares a new love
She just couldn't stand my disgrace
My son calls another man daddy
And longs for the love he can't replace

Chorus
