Am E7
I was born one mornin',

The rain a-pourin' down,
Am 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 Am/G E7
Walk on down the road
Am Am/G C F
Ain't nobody in this whole wide world
E7 Dm/F Am
A-gonna help you carry your load.

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

Ain't nobody in this whole wide world

A-gonna help you carry your load.

E7 Dm/F Am
An' she's gonna be good to you."

If anyone ever should ask you,
Am Am/G E7
"Just who is that fella Brown?"
Am Am/G C F
You can tell him I'm the boy who left his hammer smokin'
E7 Dm/F Am
Where he beat that steam drill down. Walk on, boy
[Outro]
Am Am/G E7
Walk on down the road
Am Am/G C F
There ain't nobody in this whole wide world
E7 Dm/F Am
A-gonna help you carry your load.

Walk on boy, walk on boy, walk on, boy.
