Mama said don't go near that river Don't be hangin' around old catfish John But come the morning I'd always be there Walking in his footsteps in sweet delta dawn. Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg Traded for a chestnut mare He never spoke a word in anger Though his load was hard to bear. Mama said don't go near that river Don't be hangin' around old catfish John But come the morning I'd always be there Walking in his footsteps in sweet delta dawn. Catfish John was a river hobo He lived and died on the river bend Thinkin' back I still remember I was proud to be his friend. Mama said don't go near that river Don't be hangin' around old catfish John But come the morning I'd always be there Walking in his footsteps in sweet delta dawn. |
