Walk On Boy

Doc Watson

Fiddle Tune X

I was born one mornin' The rain a-pourin' down Heard my mammy say to my pappy "Let's call him John Henry Brown." Walk on, boy; walk on down the road; Ain't nobody in this whole wide world A-gonna help you carry your load I left my mammy and pappy Just about the age of ten; Lord, I got me a job a-workin' on the levee Totin' water for the hard workin' men Walk on, boy; walk on down the road; Ain't nobody in this whole wide world A-gonna help you carry your load One day my pappy told me "Some advice I wanna give to you -- Son, find a good woman, be good to her An' she's gonna be good to you." Walk on, boy; walk on down the road; There ain't nobody in this whole wide world A-gonna help you carry your load If anyone should ever ask you "Just who is that fella Brown?" You can tell him I'm the boy Who left his hammer smokin' Where he beat that steam drill down Walk on, boy; walk on down the road; There ain't nobody in this whole wide world A-gonna help you carry your load Walk on boy, walk on boy Walk on, boy
