Walk On Boy

[00:00.06] I was born one mornin'
[00:05.69] The rain is pourin' down
[00:11.08] Heard my mammy say to my pappy
[00:13.92] "Let's call him John Henry Brown"
[00:16.53] Walk on, boy
[00:20.38] Walk on down the road
[00:23.26] Ain't nobody in this whole wide world are gonna help you carry your load
[00:29.41]
[00:56.55] I left my mammy and pappy
[00:59.76] Just about the age of ten
[01:02.42] Lord, I got me job a workin' on the levee
[01:05.66] Toting water for the hard working men
[01:08.59] Walk on, boy
[01:12.36] Walk on down the road
[01:15.25] Ain't nobody in this whole wide world are gonna help you carry your load
[01:21.62]
[01:49.23] One day my pappy told me
[01:51.95] "Some advice I wanna give to you
[01:55.10] Son, find a good woman, be good to her
[01:58.38] And she's gonna be good to you"
[02:01.05] Walk on boy
[02:05.10] Walk on down the road
[02:07.93] There ain't nobody in this whole wide world are gonna help you carry your load
[02:14.64]
[02:41.99] If anyone ever should ask you
[02:45.12] "Just who is that fella Brown?"
[02:47.86] You can tell him I'm the boy that left his hammer smokin'
[02:51.25] Where he beat that steam drill down
[02:53.96] Walk on boy
[02:57.53] Walk on down the road
[03:00.56] There ain't nobody in this whole wide world are gonna help you carry your load
[03:06.34] Walk on boy
[03:09.32] Walk on boy
[03:12.54] Walk on boy
[03:15.71]
