Lyrics

My heart goes out to the outside child
 The father steppin' out, her mother's running wild
 My heart goes out to
 Her father stepping out and her mother was running wild
 Outside child, her father could not claim
 Bless her heart, grew up with the wrong last name
 Her father could not claim
 Bless her heart, she grew up with the wrong last name
 ♪
 Her mother, she would never say
 Who her father was, 'til his dyin' day
 She never knew his name
 She finally learned her fathers name on his dying day
 ♪
 She rushed to her father's death bed
 His widowed wife and children bowed their heads
 Her father's death bed
 His widowed wife and children bowed their heads
 ♪
 Outside child, she's in her Sunday best
 As they laid her father down to rest
 She's in her Sunday best
 As they laid her father down to rest
 ♪
 She probably sat down with her family
 It's plain to see, my sister looks like me
 At the cemetery
 It's plain to see, my sister looks just like me
 ♪
 It hurts me to see him in the street
 Safe and happy with his family
 It hurts my heart to see
 Can't they see the... hmm-mmm-mmm
 ♪
 Can't they see the... hmm-mmm-mmm
 ♪
 Can't they see the...
