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.
