I just got home from serving my time

There's a baby in the family, I know he's not mine

He's not mine, there's no way he could be

Oh, I've been gone five long years, the little baby is only three

He looks and acts like me, he's even got my name

Oh, how I love him 'cause he's my son just the same

He's a proud little fellow, he's a cute little lad

Oh, I know the reason he looks and acts like me

'Cause my brother is in there

She said it happened one time, it was just an accident

He made love to her, she haven't seen him since

She said, "Will you please forgive me, darling? I'm so ashamed

Oh, will you please love him 'cause he's your son just the same?"

Baby, so sad, oh, I hate to mourn about

Oh, I love him, I still love him

He's my son just the same

Oh, I love him, oh, I love him
