Portable on My Shoulder Lyrics

I got a portable on my shoulder
And my baby by my side
I got a portable on my shoulder
And my baby by my side

There are things that are making me happy
But the two that I’m at the most pride

I got a portable on my shoulder
And my baby by my side

I can hear my baby and a record
But the one I love the most pride

I got the portable on my shoulder
I’m a very lucky guy

When a rhythm travels through my feet
When I arrive walking down the street
And my heart does a double beat
When she says she loved me

Love and a music, altogether
And they both are on my side

I got a portable on my shoulder
And a gal who’d be my bride

When a rhythm travels through my feet
When I arrive walking down the street
And my heart does a double beat
When she says she loved me

Love and a music, altogether
And they both are on my side

I got a portable on my shoulder
And a gal who’d be my bride
I got a portable on my shoulder
And my baby by my side
I got a portable on my shoulder
And my baby by my side
I got a portable on my shoulder
And my baby by my side

I got a portable on my shoulder 
And my baby by my side
I got a portable on my shoulder 
And my baby by my side

There are things that are making me happy 
But the two that I’m at the most pride

I got a portable on my shoulder 
And my baby by my side

I can hear my baby and a record 
But the one I love the most pride

I got the portable on my shoulder 
I’m a very lucky guy

When a rhythm travels through my feet 
When I arrive walking down the street 
And my heart does a double beat 
When she says she loved me

Love and a music, altogether 
And they both are on my side

I got a portable on my shoulder 
And a gal who’d be my bride

When a rhythm travels through my feet 
When I arrive walking down the street 
And my heart does a double beat 
When she says she loved me

Love and a music, altogether 
And they both are on my side

I got a portable on my shoulder 
And a gal who’d be my bride
I got a portable on my shoulder 
And my baby by my side
I got a portable on my shoulder 
And my baby by my side
I got a portable on my shoulder
And my baby by my side

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
