Walk Tall Lyrics

WALK TALL
(Donald Wayne)
Walk tall...
CHORUS :
Walk tall ( Walk tall ) ... Walk straight ( Walk straight )
And look the world right in the eye
That's what my Mamma told me when I was about knee-high
She said ' Son , be a proud man and hold your head up high '
Walk tall ( Walk tall ) ... Walk straight ( 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

CHORUS
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 Mamma's words would echo now and then
CHORUS
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
CHORUS ( Last Line Twice )
Walk tall ( Walk tall ) ...
