"Walk a little plainer Daddy,"
Said a little girl so frail.
"I'm following in your footsteps,
And I don't want to fail.
Sometimes your steps are very plain,
Sometimes they're so hard to see.
But 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,
You're like I want to be.
Then I'll have a little girl,
Who'll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead her right,
And help her to be true.
So walk a little plainer Daddy,
For we must follow you."
