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

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 bare 




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
