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)

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)

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 walk walk)

I was born one mornin' rain was pourin' down

I heard my mammy say to my pappy

Let's call him John Henry Brown

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

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
