Walk Easy My Son

When I was a very small boy (Just a small boy)
Looked through the cornfields and I wonder (oh, I wondered)
If every man had his own piece of land
So he'd never know hunger

Oh, the time quickly rode along (Yes, it did now)
I grew up and I left home
Lord knows I'm sorry I ever left
I see people starving to death

You walk easy, my son (easy)
That's what my daddy said to me
Said, you be a man and you learn all you can
Lot of class and someday, you'll be free

Oh, I remember one rainy day back home (I remеmber)
Sally Brown's house burned down (yеs, it did now)
And everybody had to lend a helping hand
Folks came from miles around

They didn't do this expecting something in return
They simply did it because they cared
And these were the kind of folk
If they had anything at all
They were more than willing to share

And daddy said, you walk easy, boy (Walk easy)
Yeah, and when your trouble get to falling like rain
(You gotta walk easy)
Hey, I want you to understand
You can't trust every man
Cause it'll only bring you pain

And now that I'm out here
In this big old world
I hear strange words like pollution
And I see a man that needs a helping hand
Have to go somewhere to find his own solution
Oh, my Lord, how this whole world had changed
I say, God, save us all
Yeah, I hate the day that I ever came
This world is heading for a great big fall

And you walk easy, son (easy)
Yeah, that's what my daddy said to me
He said you know you can't trust everyone
Cause it will only bring you misery
You walk easy, my son (easy)
And when your trouble get to falling like rain
Oh, don't you try to trust everybody, child
Cause it will only bring you pain
