[Verse 1]
[G]Mama said,
"Don't go [C]near [G]that river

Old Catfish [D]John[G]
Come in the morning,
I'd al[C]ways be there
[G]Walking in his footsteps in the
[D]Sweet Delta [G]Dawn"

Take me [C]back to another [G]morning
To [C]a time so long [G]ago
When [C]the sweet Magnolia blos[G]somed
Cotton [D]fields as white [G]as snow

[Verse 3]
Catfish [C]John was a river [G]hobo
Who lived and [C]died by the river's [G]bed
Looking [C]back, I still remem[G]ber
I was [D]proud to be his [G]friend

[Verse 4]
[G]Mama said, "Don't go
[C]near that [G]river

[G]Walking in his footsteps in the [D]Sweet Delta [G]Dawn"
