I'M GOING TO FOLLOW YOU
|
|
Walk a little plainer,
Daddy,
|
|
Said a little boy so frail,
|
|
For I'm following in 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 you once walked
this way
|
|
Many, 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;
|
|
You know I'm following
you.
|
|
Someday when I'm grown
up,
|
|
You are like I want to
be;
|
|
Then I will have a little
boy
|
|
Who'll want to follow me.
|
|
And I would want to lead
him right
|
|
And help him to be true,
|
|
So walk a little plainer,
Daddy,
|
|
I'm going to follow you.
