lyrics

I was born one morning
The rain came a-pouring down
I heard my mammy say to my pappy
let's call him John Henry Brown

walk on boy
walk on down the road
ain't nobody in this whole wide world
gonna help you carry your load

I left my mammy and pappy
just about the age of ten
lord, I got me a job working on the levee
toting water for the hard-working men

chorus

the rich men make all the money
the poor man does all the work
the rich man's sitting mighty high on the horse
while the poor boys are living on dirt

chorus

one day my pappy told me
some advice I want to give to you
son, find a good woman, be good to her,
and she's gonna be good to you

chorus

if anyone should ever ask you
just who is that John Henry Brown
you can tell him I'm the boy who left his hammer smoking
when he beat that steam drill down

chorus
