Musical Interlude: Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line (1968-70)

From Hee Haw:

Waylon Jennings performs his 1968 hit, "Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line", which peaked at #2 on the country chart. Pay close attention to the final chorus, as he changes one word.



That same season, Jennings had performed the same song on The Johnny Cash Show with the original chorus intact throughout. A few years later, Jennings would shed the clean-cut, clean shaven look for the "outlaw" look that would define him the rest of his career.
