lyrics

I was born one mornin'
The rain a-pourin' down
Heard my mamma say to my papa
"Let's call him John Henry Brown"

Walk on boy
walk on down the road
There ain't nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna help you carry your load

I left my mamma and papa
Just about the age of ten
Lord I got me a job workin' on the levee
Totin' water for the hard workin' men

Walk on boy
walk on down the road
There ain't nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna help you carry your load

One day my papa told me
"Some advice I’d like to give to you
Son, find a good woman be good to her
And she's gonna be good to you"

Walk on boy
walk on down the road
There ain't nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna help you carry your load

Now should anybody ever ask you
“Who’s that boy named Brown?"
You can tell him he’s the man
That left his hammer smokin'
When he beat that steam drill down

Walk on boy
walk on down the road
There ain't nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna help you carry your load

There ain't nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna help you carry your load
So walk on boy
Just walk on boy
