WALK A LITTLE PLAINER, MOMMY
Walk a little plainer, Mommy
said a little girl so frail,
I'm following in your footstep
and I do not want to fail.
Somtimes your steps are very
plain, sometimes they are hard to see,
So walk a little plainer, Mommy,
for yo are leading me.
I know that once you walked those
ways 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, Mommy,
for I must follow you.
Some day when I'm grown up, you
are what I want to be,
Then, I will have a little girl
who will want to follow me.
And I would want to lead her
right, and help her to be true;
So walk a little plainer, Mommy,
for I must follow you.
