Walk a Little Plainer Daddy.

Walk a little plainer daddy,
Said a little boy so frail,
I’m following your footsteps and,
I don’t want to fail.

Sometimes your steps are plain,
Sometimes they are 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,
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,
You are like I want to be,
Then I will have a little boy,
Who will want to follow me.

‘Cause I want to lead him right,
And help him to be true.
So walk a little plainer; Daddy,
For we must follow you.
