Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Am7             E7
I  was born one mornin'
    Am            E7
The rain apourin' down
Am7      Am/G     C      F
Heard my mammy say to my pappy
      E7            Dm/F       Am
Let's call him John Henry Brown
Walk on, boy

[Chorus]
Am                   E7
Walk on down the road
Am        Am/G       C               F
Ain't nobody in this whole wide world
       E7          Dm/F    Am
Agonna help you carry your load

[Solo 1]
       | Am -    | E7 - | Am -    |

[Verse 2]
 Am                  E7
I  left my mammy and pappy
Am                       E7
Just about the age of ten
Lord,
  Am          Am/G C              F
I got me a job    aworkin' on the levee
       E7            Dm/F         Am
Totin' water for the hard workin' men
Walk on, boy

[Chorus]
Am                   E7
Walk on down the road
Am        Am/G       C               F
Ain't nobody in this whole wide world
       E7          Dm/F    Am
Agonna help you carry your load

[Verse 3]
   Am                 E7
One  day my pappy told  me
           Am                   E7
Some advice  I wanna give to you
         Am       Am/G      C          F
Son, find  a good woman, be good to her
          E7       Dm/F       Am
An' she's gonna be good to you
Walk on, boy

[Chorus]
Am                   E7
Walk on down the road
Am        Am/G       C               F
Ain't nobody in this whole wide world
       E7          Dm/F    Am

[Verse 4]
   Am                    E7
If anyone ever should ask  you
Am
Just who is that fella Brown?
E7        Am               Am/G
  You can tell him I'm the boy 
     C               F
That left his hammer smokin'
         E7             Dm/F          Am
Where he beat that steam    drill down
Walk on, boy

[Outro]
Am                   E7
Walk on down the road
Am        Am/G       C               F
Ain't nobody in this whole wide world
       E7          Dm/F    Am
Agonna help you carry your load
Walk on boy, walk on boy
            C6/A
Walk on, boy
