verse 1 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. Instrumental verse 2 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. Instrumental verse 3 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. Instrumental verse 4 If anyone ever should 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 Outro 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.
