Walk On Boy
I was born one morning
The rain came pouring down
Well, I heard my mama say to my papa
Let's call him John Henry Brown
Walk on boy
Walk on down the road
Well, there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
That's gonna help you carry your load
Well, I left my mama and papa
Just about the age of ten
And I got me a job, workin' on the levee
Totin' water for the hard workin' men
Walk on boy
Walk on down the road
Well, there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
That's gonna help you carry your load
Well, one day my papa he told me
Some advice I'd like to give to you
Son, find a you woman, be good to her
And she's gonna be good to you
Walk on boy
Walk on down the road
Well, there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
That's gonna help you carry your load
If anyone should ever ask you
Who is that fella, Brown?
Well, you can tell him I'm the fella that left my hammer smokin'
Where I beat that ole steam rail down
Walk on boy
Walk on down the road
Well, there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
That's gonna help you carry your load
Walk on boy
Walk on down the road
Well, there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
That's gonna help you carry your load
The rain came pouring down
Well, I heard my mama say to my papa
Let's call him John Henry Brown
Walk on boy
Walk on down the road
Well, there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
That's gonna help you carry your load
Well, I left my mama and papa
Just about the age of ten
And I got me a job, workin' on the levee
Totin' water for the hard workin' men
Walk on boy
Walk on down the road
Well, there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
That's gonna help you carry your load
Well, one day my papa he told me
Some advice I'd like to give to you
Son, find a you woman, be good to her
And she's gonna be good to you
Walk on boy
Walk on down the road
Well, there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
That's gonna help you carry your load
If anyone should ever ask you
Who is that fella, Brown?
Well, you can tell him I'm the fella that left my hammer smokin'
Where I beat that ole steam rail down
Walk on boy
Walk on down the road
Well, there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
That's gonna help you carry your load
Walk on boy
Walk on down the road
Well, there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
That's gonna help you carry your load
