I was born one mornin'
Well, the rain came pourin' down (sorry)
(Shit, what's the next word?)
Well, I heard my mama say to my papa
"Let's call him John Henry Brown"
Walk on, boy
Walk on down the road
Well, there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
A-gonna help you carry your load
Now I left my mama and papa
Just about the age of ten
When I got me a job workin' on the levee
Totin' water for the hard-workin' men
Walk on, boy
Walk on down the road
Well, there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
That's gonna help you carry your load
ย
Now, one day my papa, he told me
Some advice I'd like to give to you
"Son, you find you a woman, be good to her
'Cause she's gonna be good to you"
Walk on, boy
Walk on down the road
Now there ain't nobody in this whole wide world
That's gonna help you carry your load
ย
Now if anyone should ever ask you
"Who is that fella Brown?"
Well, you tell him I'm the fella
That left my hammer smokin'
When I beat that ol' steam drill down
Walk on, boy
Walk on down the road
Now there ain't nobody in this whole wide world
A-gonna help you carry your load
Walk on, boy
Well, walk on, boy
Well, walk on, boy
Well, walk on, boy

Little tune time in the old Legion hall
Thank you
