Walk On Boy (featuring Mike Farris)
I was born one mornin'
The rain a-pourin' down
Heard my mama say to my papa
"Let's call him John Henry Brown."

Walk on, boy; walk on down the road;
Ain't nobody in this whole wide world
To help you carry your load

I left my mama and papa
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;
There Ain't nobody in this whole wide world
Can help you carry your load

One day papa told me
"Some advice I 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
Can help you carry your load

Now if anyone should ask you
Just who is that fellow brown
You can tell em I the boy who left his hammer smoking
Where he beat the steam drill on down

Walk on boy, well walk on down the road
There ain’t nobody in this whole wide world
Can help you carry your load

Walk on boy, well walk on down the road
There ain’t nobody in this whole wide world
Can help you carry your load

Walk on boy
Walk on boy
Walk on boy
