Walk a Little Plainer, Chief

"Walk a Little Plainer, Chief said a Sailor so young and new I'm following in your footsteps,
and I don't know what to do sometimes they are hard to see; so walk a little plainer Chief, for you are leading me"

"I know that once you walked many years ago; and what you did along the way I'd really
like to know. For sometimes when I am confused, I don't know what to do; So walk a little plainer, Chief, for I must follow you."

"Someday when I am older, you are like I want to be; then I will have a young Sailor
who will want to follow me and I would want to lead him right, and help him to be true; so walk a little plainer, Chief, for I must follow you"
