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
Now I see and understand the
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
That's what my mama told me
when I was about knee high
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
That's what my mama told me when
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
