[G]
Mama said [C] don't go near that river
[G] Don't be hanging around old Catfish [D] John
[G] Come [C] the morning I'll always be [G] there
Walking his footsteps [D] in the sweet [G] battleground
[C] Take me, boy, you're [G] nothing for me
I'm a [C] good boy, so [G] long ago
[C] When the sweet [G] magnolia blossomed
Thought I'd feel you for a while
But [C] Catfish was a [G] river
[C] Living by the [G] river's river
[C] I still [G] remember
I was proud to be his friend
Mama said [C] don't go near that river
[G] Don't be hanging around old [D] Catfish John
Come [G] the [C] morning I'll always be there
Walking [G] his [D] footsteps in the sweet [G] battleground

Mama [C] said don't go near that river
