Walk On Boy (Live At The American Legion Post 82)

I was born one mornin'
Well, the rain came pourin' down (sorry)
(Shit, what's the next word?)
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
A-gonna help you carry your load

Now I left my mama and papa
Just about the age of ten
When 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

Now, one day my papa, he told me
Some advice I'd like to give to you
"Son, you find you a woman, be good to her
'Cause she's gonna be good to you"

Walk on, boy
Walk on down the road
Now there ain't nobody in this whole wide world
That's gonna help you carry your load

Now if anyone should ever ask you
"Who is that fella Brown?"
Well, you tell him I'm the fella
That left my hammer smokin'
When I beat that ol' steam drill down

Walk on, boy
Walk on down the road
Now there ain't nobody in this whole wide world
A-gonna help you carry your load

Walk on, boy
Well, walk on, boy
Well, walk on, boy
Well, walk on, boy

Little tune time in the old Legion hall
Thank you
