Greg Brown - Walkin' Daddy Lyrics

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
