"Walk a little plainer, Daddy"
said a voice so frail
"I'm walking in your footsteps
and I don't want to fail Sometimes your steps are very plain
sometimes they're hard to see
So won't you walk a little plainer, Daddy,
for you are leading me"

"I know that once you walked this road,
so many years ago.
'Cause sometimes when I'm tempted
it gets so hard to see
So, won't you walk a little plainer, Daddy,
for you are leading me"

"One day when I'm grown up
and you are like I want to be
I will have a little boy
who will want to follow me
And I will want to teach him right
and help him to be true
So won't you walk a little plainer, Daddy,
we must follow you."
"Walk a little plainer, Daddy"
I heard a little voice say,
"Don't you know I'll be watching you
all throughout the day.
And I'm not quite sure which way to turn,
When you begin to swerve and sway.
So won't you walk a little plainer, Daddy,
I've got to follow you today"

"Walk a little, Daddy,
Talk a little plainer, Daddy.
Won't you walk a little plainer, Daddy,
I've got to follow you today."
