Walk On Boy Songtext
von Billy Strings

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
