[Chorus]
D G Mama said don't go near that river D A7 Don't be hanging around old Catfish John D G But come the morning I'd always be there D A7 D Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
[Verse 1]
G D Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg G D Traded for a chestnut mare G D He never spoke a word in anger A7 D Though his load was hard to bare
[Chorus]
D G Mama said don't go near that river D A7 Don't be hanging around old Catfish John D G But come the morning I'd always be there D A7 D Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn

G D Catfish John was a river hobo G D He lived and died on the river bend G D Looking back I still remember A7 D I was proud to be his friend
[Chorus]
D G Mama said don't go near that river D A7 Don't be hanging around old Catfish John D G But come the morning I'd always be there D A7 D Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn

[Verse 3]
G D Let me dream of another morning G D And a time so long ago G D When the sweet magnolias blossomed A7 D And the cotton fields were white as snow
[Chorus]
D G Mama said don't go near that river D A7 Don't be hanging around old Catfish John D G But come the morning I'd always be there D A7 D Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
[Outro]
D G But come the morning I'd always be there D A7 D Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
