Subject: Lyr Add: WALK ON, BOY (from Doc Watson)
WALK ON BOY Doc Watson
I was born one mawnin' The rain a-pourin' down Heard my mammy say to my pappy Let's call him John Henry Brown.
CHORUS Walk on, boy Walk on down the road Ain't no one in the whole wide world Gonna help you carry your load.
I left my mammy and pappy At just about the age of ten Lord, I got me a job workin' on the levee Totin' water for the hard workin' men.
CHORUS
One day my pappy told me Some advice I wanta give to you Son, find a good woman, be good to her And she's gonna be good to you.
CHORUS
If anyone ever should ask you Just who is that fellow, Brown You can tell 'em I'm the boy that left his hammer smokin' Where he beat that steam drill down.
CHORUS
