Charlie Louvin See The Big Man Cry lyrics

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 a pet shop window
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 that's what I heard him say
See the big man cry mama he looks like his heart will break

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 that's what I heard him say
See the big man cry mama he looks like his heart will break

[guitar solo]

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 that's what I heard him say
See the big man cry mama he looks like his heart will break
