Momma said don`t go near that river
Don`t be hangin` `round old Catfish John
Come the mornin` I`d always be there
Walkin` in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
Let me dream of another mor-ornin`
And a ti-ime so long ago
When the sweet magnolia blossom
Cotton fields were white as snow
Catfish John was a river hobo
Livin` by the river bed
Thinkin` back, I still remember
I was proud to be his friend
Momma said don`t go near that river
Don`t be hangin` `round old Catfish John
Come the mornin` I`d always be there
Walkin` in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg
Traded for a chestnut mare
But still he never spo-oke in anger
Though his load was hard to bear
Momma said don`t go near that river
Don`t be hangin` `round old Catfish John
Come the mornin` I`d always be there
Walkin` in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
