"Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line" is a song written by Jimmy Bryant. Originally recorded by American country music singer Jim Alley it was made famous by American country music singer and musician Waylon Jennings.
Waylon Jennings version
Jennings recorded the song on April 16, 1968, at RCA Victor Studios in Nashville, with Chet Atkins producing, with Wayne Moss playing the guitar solo.It was released in July 1968 as the second single from Jennings' album Only the Greatest.
Billboard, in a review of the album, said that it and "Walk On Out of My Mind" were "typical of the robust, compelling vocal style."Nathan Brackett and Christian Hoard, in The New Rolling Stone Album Guide, wrote that Jennings began to "really assert his rough-hewn sensibility" on the song.

Lyrics
I didn't say it
Y'all have a good time
Do what you want to
Everybody knows you've been steppin' on my toes
And I'm gettin' pretty tired of it
Steppin' out of line
And a-messin' with my mind
If you had any sense, you'd quit
'Cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinkin', then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line
You keep a-packin' up my clothes, nearly everybody knows
That you're still just a-puttin' me on
But when I start a-walkin'
Gonna hear you start a-squawkin'
And a-beggin' me to come back home
'Cause ever since you were a little bitty scrawny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
You better do some thinkin', then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line

Lyrics
Flying cross the desert in a TWA
Saw a women walking
Cross the sand
They been walking thirty miles
In route to L.A. to get
A brown eyed handsome man
The destination was
A brown eyed handsome man
Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world
In the palm of her hand
But she lost both her arms
In a wrestling match to get
A brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself
A brown eyed handsome man
Way back in history
Three thousand years
Back ever since the world began
Been a whole lot a good women
Shedding tears for
A brown eyede handsome man
That's what the trouble was
A brown eyed handsome man
Beautiful daughter couldn't
Make up her mind between
A doctor and a lawyer man
Mamma told her daughter
Go out and find herself
A brown eyed handsome man
Just like your daddy is
A brown eyed handsome man
Arrested on charges
Of unemployment
He was sitting in the witness stand
The judges wife called up
The district attorney said you better
Free that brown eyed man
If you want your job you'd better
Free that brown eyed man
Way back in history
Three thousand years
Back when ever since the world began
Got a whole lot a good woman
Shedding tears for
A brown eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble was
A brown eyed handsome man
