[Verse 1]
    C                  Am
The other day I walked out on the street
C              Am
 I happened to see
  F
A pretty young woman, a little bitty boy
    F                 G7
And he looked back at me

[Chorus]
C               Am
See the big man cry, mama
C                       Am
That's what I heard him say
C               Am
See the big man cry, mama
   F                         G7
He looks like his heart will break

[Verse 2]
C                   Am
I followed them to a pet shop window
    C                     Am
The little boy stopped to see
          F
He looked up at her said if I had a daddy
     F                  G7
He'd buy that puppy for me

[Chorus]
C               Am
See the big man cry, mama
C                       Am
That's what I heard him say
C               Am
See the big man cry, mama
   F                         G7
He looks like his heart will break

[Verse 3]
C                      Am
I wanted to tell him I was his dad
    C                    Am
And he sure had a pretty mom
        F
But the judge had said I could never see them
        F                   G7
For the things I'd said and done

[Chorus]
C               Am
See the big man cry, mama
C                       Am
That's what I heard him say
C               Am
See the big man cry, mama
   F                         C
He looks like his heart will break

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
C       Am
Son, as you grow older
C                       Am
You'll find someone who is dear
     F
Just stick by her, take care of her
    F              G7
And you will never hear

[Chorus]
C               Am
See the big man cry, mama
C                       Am
That's what I heard him say
C               Am
See the big man cry, mama
   F              G7         C    G7  C
He looks like his heart will break
