Walk Tall

Walk Tall - Daniel O'Donnell (丹尼爾 奧 丹內爾)

Walk tall

Walk tall walk straight

And look the world right in the eye

That's what my mama told me

When I was about knee high

She said son be a proud man

And hold your head up high

Walk tall walk straight

And look the world right in the eye

All through the years that I grew up

Ma taught these things to me

But I was young and foolish then

And much too blind to see

I ignored the things

She said as if I'd never heard

Now I see and understand

The wisdom of her words

Walk tall walk straight

And look the world right in the eye

That's what my mama told me

When I was about knee high

She said son be a proud man

And hold your head up high

Walk tall walk straight

And look the world right in the eye

I started going places

Where the youngsters shouldn't go

I got to know the kind of girls

It's better not to know

I fell in with a bad crowd

And laughed and drank with them

Through the laughter mama's words

Would echo now and then

Walk tall walk straight

And look the world right in the eye

That's what my mama told me

When I was about knee high

She said son be a proud man

And hold your head up high

Walk tall walk straight

And look the world right in the eye

I got in trouble with the law

And I'm in prison now

Through these prison bars

I see things so much different now

I've got one year left to serve

And when my time is done

I'll walk tall and straight

And make ma proud to call me son

Walk tall walk straight

And look the world right in the eye

That's what my mama told me

When I was about knee high

She said son be a proud man

And hold your head up high

Walk tall walk straight

And look the world right in the eye

Walk tall walk straight

And look the world right in the eye

Walk tall
