Oh I wish I had grown

With my mother back home

Cause I miss her sweet kisses and her smile

And when I’m alone

I wish I had known

My mother for just a while

Won’t you walk with me, darling

Just a couple of miles

Won’t you tell me the stories

Of when I was a child

I’d be so happy

As the stories unfold

Won’t you walk with me, darling

Down that old mission road

Oh I wish I’d gone fishing

With my father, I’m still missing

And the touch of his strong, gentle hands

Now I’m gone from the mission

Cause someone’s decision

Kept me away from that man

Won’t you walk with me, darling

Just a couple of miles

Won’t you tell me the storiеs

Of when I was a child

I’d be so happy

As the storiеs unfold

Won’t you walk with me, darling

Down that old mission road

[Instrumental Break]

So kiss your mother goodnight

Hold your father tight

And keep your family near

Or else one day they might

Slowly fade out of sight

Just reflections in those tears

Won’t you walk with me, darling

Just a couple of miles

Won’t you tell me the stories

Of when I was a child

I’d be so happy

As the stories unfold

Won’t you walk with me, darling

Down that old mission road

Won’t you walk with me, darling

Down that old mission road
