"Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line" is the title of a song written by Ivy J. "Jimmy" Bryant and recorded by American country music singer Waylon Jennings. The song appears on Jennings's 1968 album Only the Greatest.[2]

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."[3] 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.[4]
