Lyrics
Catfish john G c Chorus: mama said don't go near that river G d Don't be hanging round ole catfish john G c Come the mornin' I'd always be there G d g 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 C g d g 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
