Walk On Boy Lyrics - The Three Pickers - Earl Scruggs

I was born one mornin', 

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 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.

[Chorus] 

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." 

[Chorus] 

If anyone should ever ask you, 

"Just who is that fella Brown?" 

You can tell him I'm the boy 

Who left his hammer smokin' 

Where he beat that steam drill down. 

[Chorus]
