My Son Calls Another Man Daddy

(Hank Williams - Jewell House)



Tonight my head is bowed in sorrow

I can't keep the tears from my eyes

My son calls another man daddy

The right to his love I've been denied.



My son calls another man daddy

He'll never know my name nor my face

God only knows how it hurts me

For another to be in my place.



Each night I lay there in prison

I pictured a future so bright

For he was the one ray of sunshine

That shone through the darkness of night.



Today his mother shares a new love

She just couldn't stand my disgrace

My son calls another man daddy

And longs for a love he can't replace.



My son calls another man daddy

He'll never know my name nor my face

God only knows how it hurts me

For another to be in my place...
