Vince Gill – Catfish John (Guitar)

D                   G         D
Momma said don't go near that river

                                   A
Don't be hanging round ole Catfish John

             D           G      D
But come the morning I'd always be there

                                 A           D
Walking in his footsteps in that sweet delta dawn

       G                    D
Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg

       G              A
Traded for a chestnut mare

       G              D
But he never spoke in anger

                    A       D
Though his load was hard to bear

D                   G         D
Momma said don't go near that river

                                   A
Don't be hanging round ole Catfish John

             D           G      D
But come the morning I'd always be there

                                 A           D
Walking in his footsteps in that sweet delta dawn

       G                D
Let me dream of another morning

     G            A
Of a time so long ago

          G               D
Where the sweet magnolias blossom

                           A
And the cotton fields were white as snow
