Vuestra música es genial, no sé como expresarlo de otra forma

"Walk On Boy" is a classic folk song performed by Doc Watson. The lyrics tell the story of a young boy who faces challenges and obstacles throughout his life but is advised to keep moving forward, facing life's hardships without relying on others for help. The overall theme of the song is resilience and self-reliance.

The song begins with the narrator's birth, which coincides with a rainy day. This could symbolize the difficult circumstances in which the boy is born into. The mention of his parents naming him "John Henry Brown" alludes to the legendary African-American folk hero, John Henry, who was known for his strength and determination. This reference adds an element of cultural and historical significance to the song.

As the song progresses, the boy is depicted leaving his parents at a young age to find work on the levee, potentially indicating that he has to grow up quickly and face the challenges of adulthood at a young age. He takes on the physically demanding job of carrying water for the hardworking men on the levee. This emphasizes the notion that he has to work hard and bear his own burdens without relying on others for assistance.

The advice given by the narrator's father is another important aspect of the song. The father advises his son to find a good woman and treat her well, suggesting that love, support, and reciprocity are important in life. This lyric adds a touch of hope and provides an encouraging message amidst the hardships.

The metaphor of the "hammer smokin'" and the "steam drill" in the final verse refers to the legendary competition between John Henry and the steam drill. John Henry, an African-American laborer, was said to have raced against a steam-powered drill to prove the superiority of human manual labor. Tragically, he succeeded but died due to the intense physical exertion. The mention of this legend in the song could symbolize the narrator's determination and his willingness to challenge machines or impersonal forces that may threaten his livelihood.

Overall, "Walk On Boy" conveys a message of resilience, determination, and self-reliance in the face of adversity. The song emphasizes the importance of perseverance and not relying on others to carry one's load. It incorporates historical figures and metaphors to enrich the meaning and create a sense of cultural and historical significance. Through its storytelling and folk roots, the song captures the timeless themes of hard work, independence, and the pursuit of a better life."           Songtell
