My Little Boy

[Verse 1] I'm packing my bags, 'cause I must leave, my little son, he cannot conceive. His tears hurt me, I try to stay strong, There's no turning back, I walk this road alone. [Chorus] My little boy, now you're the man of the house, it's true. Take care of your sister, and keep the cat in, too. My little boy, please be brave and don't you cry. Take care of your mother, now that's your duty, don't deny. [Verse 2] I'm standing by my car, loading my gear, my son by my side, fragile, and near. His mother's watching from the window, tears in her eyes so clear. Is this new love worth breaking two hearts, I fear? [Chorus] My little boy, now you're the man of the house, it's true. Take care of your sister, and keep the cat in, too. My little boy, please be brave and don't you cry. Take care of your mother, now that's your duty, don't deny. [Instrumental] [Bridge] Daddy... please don't go, please stay right here, Daddy... please don't go, stay close, my dear. [Chorus] My little boy, now you're the man of the house, it's true. Take care of your sister, and keep the cat in, too. My little boy, please be brave and don't you cry. Take care of your mother, now that's your duty, don't deny. [Instrumental] [Chorus] My little boy, now you're the man of the house, it's true. Take care of your sister, and keep the cat in, too. [Outro] I can't leave you behind, my son, I've made a mistake, I'll choose you over her, for your love's sake. I'll turn back from this road, and make things right, With you by my side, we'll face the night.
