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
