Walkin' Daddy

i'm walkin' daddy  in the steps that you put down
i'm walkin' daddy  & i know not where I'm bound

i'm walkin' daddy  this road is dark & long
i'm walkin' daddy  & your blood is in me strong

i'm walkin' daddy  where the jack's fork river bends
down in missouri  where the jack's fork river bends
with you & ma & my sister  & with all my dear friends

you're walkin' daddy  off through the woods you old hillbilly
you said "this is my son in whom I am well pleased"

ain't no road a good road until it's free to everyone
we're walkin' daddy  father holy ghost & son

ain't no sorrow can dim the love comes shining through
i'm walkin' daddy  I know what I am here to do

to be of use  try to help the deal along
i'm walkin' daddy  & i'm just gonna keep walkin' on
