A Little Girl Follows Me A careful teacher I want to be A little girl follows me I do not dare to go astray For fear she’ll go the self-same way. I cannot once escape her eyes; Whate’er she see me do, she tries; Like me she says she’s going to be The little girl who follows me. She thinks that I am good and fine Believes in every word of mine; The base in me she must not see The little girl who follows me. I must remember as I go Through summer’s sun and winter’s snow I am building, for the years that be, For that little girl who follows me.
Walk A Little Plainer Daddy Walk a little plainer, Daddy, Said a little boy so frail. I’m following in your footsteps and I do not want to fail. Sometimes your steps are very plain; sometimes hard to see So walk a little plainer, Daddy, for you are leading me. I know that once you walked this way, many, many years ago For sometimes when I am tempted, I don’t know what to do So walk a little plainer, Daddy, for I must follow you. Someday when I will have grown up, you are like I want to be Then I will have a little boy who will want to follow me. And I would want to lead him right And help him to be true So walk a little plainer, Daddy, For I must follow you.
