Hey little man, you're quite a man,
You make me smile when no one can
And days when I don't give a damn,
You come and you take my hand
And we go walking a long, long ways, seeing what we'll see
Doin' things that can make me smile,
When you do things that remind me of me
Hey, little man,
Understand you're daddy ain't nothing but a guitar man
Living his life the best he can,
Til you came I hadn't a plan
But I've been walking a long, long ways
And there are things I have seen
I learned things that might help you,
Son, when you do things that remind me of me
Bridge:
And you've got your own life to live, it's true
And I want the best in life for you
There are heartaches I could help you through, if you want me to
But if I know you, you won't ask me to
Hey little man, you got to take a stand,
Make up your mind to be all you can
Have a lot of pride and remember
That you're the son of a gypsy songman
When you're walking your long, long way seeing what you'll see
Looking back won't you tip your hat,
When you do things that remind you of me
But hey little man, now, you take my hand,
Walk a little way with your old man
It won't be long before you lead a band
And I'm just one of your fans
And when you're walking a long, long way
Seein' what you'll see
Remember people will smile sometimes
When you do things that remind them of me
Jerry Jeff Walker, nato Ronald Clyde Crosby, è stato un cantautore e chitarrista statunitense di grande successo negli anni '70. Conosciuto anche come Gypsy Songman, ha lasciato un'impronta significativa nel panorama musicale country, country rock, folk rock e rock and roll. La sua musica, spesso caratterizzata da testi ironici e storie di vita vissuta, ha conquistato un pubblico vasto e fedele. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo "Mr. Bojangles", una ballata che racconta la storia di un ballerino di strada, e "Desperados Waiting for a Train", un brano diventato un classico del genere outlaw country. Walker è stato anche un importante collaboratore con altri artisti come Willie Nelson e Waylon Jennings, contribuendo a definire lo stile musicale dell'outlaw country. La sua influenza sulla musica americana rimane evidente ancora oggi.
