Long Gone Lonesome Blues

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 ne'er know my name nor my face

God only knows how it hurts me

For another to be in my place

Each night I laid there in prison

I pictured a future so bright

For he was the one ray of sunshine

That shone through the darkest of nights

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

My son calls another man daddy

He'll ne'er know my name nor my face

God only knows how it hurts me

For another to be in my place
