Dolly Parton - Hold Fast to the Right lyrics

(James D. Vaughn - arr. Dolly Parton)

Come and sit by the side of your mother my boy

You have only a moment I know

And stay while I give you this parting advice

It is all that I have to bestow.

Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right

Wherever your footsteps may roam

Oh, for sake not the the way of salvation my boy

That you've learned from your mother at home.

In your satchel you'll find there's a Bible my boy

It's the book of all others the best

It will teach you to live and prepare you to die

And will take to the gates of the blest.

Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right

Wherever your footsteps may roam

Oh, for sake not the the way of salvation my boy

That you've learned from your mother at home.

--- Instrumental ---

Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right

Wherever your footsteps may roam

Oh, for sake not the the way of salvation my boy

That you've learned from your mother at home.

Oh hold fast to the right...
