[G]
Mama [Eb] said [D] don't go [F] near [E] that river,
[G] don't be hanging round old Catfish [Bm] John.
[G] Come the morning [C] I'll always be there, [G] walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn.
[C] Let me dream of [G] another morning [C] and a time so [G] long ago,
when [C] the sweet [G] magnolia blossomed, cotton fields [D] were [G] white as snow.
[C] Catfish John was a [G] real hobo, living [C] by the river [G] bend.
[C] Thinking back I [G] still remember, I was [D] proud to [G] be his friend.
Mama said [C] don't go near that river, [G]
don't be hanging round old [D] Catfish John.
[G] Come the morning [C] I'll always be there, [G] walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn.
[D] [G] Born [C] a slave in the [G] town of Pittsburgh, [C] traded for a [G] chestnut mare,
but [C] still he never [G] spoke in anger, though his load was hard to bear.
