Walk On Boy (Doc Watson Cover) @ Knox United

This song was made famous by Doc Watson, but the lyrics were written by Wayne P. Walker & Mel Tillis. We loved the way the verse end is punctuated by a riff that pulls the whole thing together. It's a good anthem to keep plugging away at the things you love... ain't nobody gonna carry that load for you. We set up in the Knox United church in Fernie, BC. Canada in May 2022 to film a couple videos. The space was warm and had that natural reverb you can't get in a small space. Special Guest: Rhonda Shippy on Bass Mixed by Clay Parsons Edited by Mike Hepher Cinematography by Finn Hepher Lyrics: I was born one morning The rain a pourin' down, 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 A gonna help you carry load I left my mammy and pappy Just about the age of ten Lord I got me a job a workin' on the levy Totin' water for the hard workin' men One day my pappy told me Some advice I wanna give to you Son, find a good woman, be good to her Ah she's gonna be good to you If anyone should ever ask you Just who is that fella Brown You can tell him I'm the boy Who left his hammmer smokin' Where he beat that old steam drill down Songwriters: Wayne P.
