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 Solo: (verse chords) 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
