[Chorus]
A D
Mama said don't go near that river
A E
Don't be hanging around old Catfish John
A D
But come the morning I'd always be there
A E A
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
[Verse 1]
D A
Take me back, to another moment
D A
To a time, so long ago
D A
When the sweet, magnolias blossomed
A E A
The cotton fields, were white as snow
[Verse 2]
D A
Catfish John was a river hobo
D A
He lived and died, by the rivers bend
D A
Looking back, I still remember
A E A
I was proud, to be his friend
D A D A D A E A
[Verse 3]
D A
Born a slave, in the town of Vicksburg
D A
Traded for, a chestnut mare
D A
Lord he never, spoke in anger
A E A
Though his load, was hard to bear
[Chorus]
A D
Mama said don't go near that river
A E
Don't be hanging around old Catfish John
A D
But come the morning I'd always be there
A E A
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
A E A
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
