Walk On Boy (Vanguard Version)

Walk On Boy (Vanguard Version) - Doc Watson

I was born one morning

The rain a pourin' down

Heard my mammy say to my pappy

Let's call him John henry brown

Walk on boy

Walk on down the road

Ain't nobody in this whole wide world

A gonna help you carry your load

I left my mammy and pappy

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

Ain't nobody in this whole wide world

A gonna help you carry your load

One day my pappy told me

Some advice I wanna 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

A gonna help you carry your load

If anyone ever should ask you

Just who is that fella brown

You can tell him I'm the boy

The left his hammer smokin'

Where he beat that steam drill down

Walk on boy

Walk on down the road

There ain't nobody in this whole wide world

A gonna help you carry your load

Walk on boy

Walk on boy

Walk on boy
