CATFISH JOHN

CHORUS: Mama said don't go near that river

don't be hanging round ole Catfish John

Come the mornin' I'd always be there,

walking in his footsteps in
the sweet delta dawn
G C G C G
V1: Take me back to another home
to a time so long ago

When the sweet magnolias

blossomed cotton fields as
white as snow

v2: Catfish John was a river
hobo living down by the
river's bend
Thinkin' back I still remember I
was proud to be his friend

(CHORUS)

[instrumental]

V 3: Born a slavery down in
Richmond traded for a chestnut
mare
Still he never spoke in anger though
his load was hard to bear

(CHORUS) 2x and tag
