Catfish John
recorded by Ricky Skaggs
written by Allen Reynolds and Bob Mcdill

C                  F
Mama said don't go near that river
C                                   G7
Don't be hanging around old Catfish John
C                        F
But come the morning I'd always be there
C                           G7          C
Walking in his footsteps in sweet delta dawn

       F                C
Let me dream of another morning
      F             C
And a time so long ago
         F               C
When the sweet magnolias blossomed
                      G7            C
And the cotton fields were white as snow

         F                C
Catfish John was a river hobo
             F                 C
He lived and died on the river bend
         F              C
Thinking back I still remember
              G7      C
I was proud to be his friend
 
Repeat #1

       F                    C
Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg
       F              C
Traded for a chestnut mare
      F                   C
Still he never spoke a in anger
                G7          C
Though his load was hard to bear

Repeat #1
                     F
Come the morning I'd always be there
C                           G7          C
Walking in his footsteps in sweet delta dawn
