Catfish John-crd Johnny Russell
[D]Momma said don't go n[G]ear that r[D]iver
Don't be hangin' 'round old Catfish J[A]ohn
But come the [D]morning I'd a[G]lways [D]be there
Walking in his footsteps in that s[A]weet delta [D]dawn
Verse 1
Born a [G]slave in the town of [D]Vicksburg
Traded [G]for a chestnut [A]mare
But he [G]never spoke in [D]anger
Though his load was [A]hard to [D]bear
(Repeat chorus)#CHORUS
[D]Momma said don't go n[G]ear that r[D]iver
Don't be hangin' 'round old Catfish J[A]ohn
But come the [D]morning I'd a[G]lways [D]be there
Walking in his footsteps in that s[A]weet delta [D]dawn
Verse 2
Let me [G]dream of another [D]morning
Of a [G]time so long [A]ago
Where the [G]sweet magnolias [D]blossom
And cotton fields were [A]white as [D]snow
Repeat Repeat chorus)#CHORUS
[D]Momma said don't go n[G]ear that r[D]iver
Don't be hangin' 'round old Catfish J[A]ohn
But come the [D]morning I'd a[G]lways [D]be there
Walking in his footsteps in that s[A]weet delta [D]dawn
