D Mama said don't go Gnear that river D Don't be hanging around old Catfish A7John D But come the morning I'd Galways be there DWalking in his footsteps in the A7sweet delta Ddawn
[Verse 1]
Born a Gslave in the town of DVicksburg Traded Gfor a chestnut Dmare He never Gspoke a word in Danger Though his loadA7 was hard to Dbare
[Chorus]
D Mama said don't go Gnear that river D Don't be hanging around old Catfish A7John D But come the morning I'd Galways be there DWalking in his footsteps in the A7sweet delta Ddawn
[Instrumental] G G D D G G D D G G D D D A7 D D [Verse 2]
Catfish GJohn was a river Dhobo He lived and Gdied on the river Dbend Looking Gback I still reDmember I was proudA7 to be his Dfriend
[Chorus]
D Mama said don't go Gnear that river D Don't be hanging around old Catfish A7John D But come the morning I'd Galways be there DWalking in his footsteps in the A7sweet delta Ddawn
[Instrumental] G G D D G G D D G G D D D A7 D D [Verse 3]
Let me Gdream of another Dmorning And a Gtime so long aDgo When the Gsweet magnolias Dblossomed And the cotton fieldsA7 were white as Dsnow
[Chorus]
D Mama said don't go Gnear that river D Don't be hanging around old Catfish A7John D But come the morning I'd Galways be there DWalking in his footsteps in the A7sweet delta Ddawn
[Outro]
D But come the morning I'd Galways be there DWalking in his footsteps in the A7sweet delta Ddawn
