Walk A Little Plainer Daddy

Walk a little plainer daddy said a boy so frail,
I’m following your footsteps and I don’t want to fail
Sometimes your steps are very plain sometimes they’re hard to see,
So walk a little plainer daddy for you are leading me!

I know that once you walked this way many years ago,
and what you did along the way I’d really like to know.
For sometimes when I’m tempted I don’t know what to do,
So walk a little plainer daddy for I must follow you.

Someday when I’m grown up, like you I want to be,
I will have a little boy who will want to follow me,
and I would want to lead him right and help him to be true,
So walk a little plainer daddy for we must follow you.
