Walk on, boy I was born one mornin' Rain was pourin' down I heard my mammy say to my pappy "Let's call him John Henry Brown" Walk on, boy (Walk, walk, walk) Walk on down the road Ain't nobody in the whole wide world Gonna help you carry your load Walk on, boy (Walk, walk, walk) Well, I left home one evenin' Just about the age of ten Got me a job way down on the levee Totin' water to the hardworkin' men Walk on, boy (Walk, walk, walk) Walk on down the road Ain't nobody in the whole wide world Gonna help you carry your load Walk on, boy (Walk, walk, walk) The rich man makes all the money The poor man does all the work While the rich man's livin' mighty high on a horse Well, the poor boys are livin' on dirt Walk on, boy (Walk, walk, walk) Walk on down the road Ain't nobody in the whole wide world Gonna help you carry your load Walk on, boy (Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk) My old pappy told me just one thing to do You gotta find a good woman, be good to her And she gonna be good to you Walk on, boy (Walk, walk, walk) Walk on down the road Ain't nobody in the whole wide world Gonna help you carry your load Walk on, boy (Walk, walk, walk) I know y'all heard the story 'Bout the hammer that weighed nine pound Well, the man that swung that hammer on the mountain Was a fella named John Henry Brown Walk on, boy (Walk, walk, walk) Walk on down the road Ain't nobody in the whole wide world Gonna help you carry your load Walk on, boy (Walk, walk, walk) Just keep on walkin' (Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk) Feet draggin', back achin', (Walk, walk, walk) But keep on walkin'
