Hold Fast to the Right

Hold Fast to the Right
 June Carter Cash
 Well I gave you to God in your cradle my boy
 And I've taught you the best that I knew
 And as long as His mercies permit me to live
 I shall never cease praying for you
 Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right
 Wherever your footsteps shall roam
 And forsake not the way of salvation my boy
 That you learned from your mother at home
 Well you leave us to seek your employment my boy
 By the world you have yet to be tried
 But in temptations and trials you eet my boy
 May your heart to the Savior confide
 Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right
 Wherever your footsteps shall roam
 And forsake not the way of salvation my boy
 That you learned from your mother at home
 You will find in your satchel a Bible my boy
 It's the book of all others the best
 It will help you to live and prepare you to die
 And will lead to the gates of the blest
 Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right
 Wherever your footsteps shall roam
 And forsake not the way of salvation my boy
 That you learned from your mother at home
