Walk on boy (walk, walk, walk on boy)
Walk on down that road
There ain't nobody in the whole wide world
Gonna help you carry your load
Walk on boy (walk, walk, walk on boy)

I left home one evening
Just about the age of ten
Got me a job on the levee
Totin' water for the hard workin men

Walk on boy (walk, walk, walk on boy)
Walk on down the road
There ain't nobody in the whole wide world
Gonna help you carry your load
Walk on boy (walk, walk, walk on boy)

A rich men make all the money
A poor boy do all the work
A rich man live mighty high on the hog
But the poor boy live on the dirt

Walk on boy (walk, walk, walk on boy)
Walk on down the road
There ain't nobody in the whole wide world
Gonna help you carry your load
Walk on boy (walk, walk, walk on boy)

My old pappy told me
Just one thing to do
Find a good woman be good to her
And she's gonna be good to you

Walk on boy (walk, walk, walk on boy)
Walk on down the road
There ain't nobody in the whole wide world
Gonna help you carry your load
Walk on boy (walk, walk, walk on boy)
