I remember the day that he passed away
We were all so lonely and sad
Mother was cryin' as she said to me
Walk in the steps of your dad
It hurt us so to see dad go
We could not understand
But mother in her tremblin' voice
Said he's gone to a better land
Your daddy was kind and good to all
He always worked the land
But now his work on earth is done
He's restin' in God's hand
I long to see his smilin' face
And i will be so glad
But please remember these words I say
Walk in the steps of your dad
Now mother too has done passed on
We miss our home so bad
But I will remember these words she
Walk in the steps of your dad
I often dream of the old home place
And all the good times we had
It seems I can still hear mother say
Walk in the steps of your dad
Yes it seems I can still hear mother
Walk in the steps of your dad
