Catfish John |
Mama said, «Don't go near that river |
Don’t be hanging around old Catfish John.» |
Come in the morning I’d always be there |
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn |
Take me back to another morning, to a time so long ago |
When the sweet magnolia blossomed, cotton fields as white as snow |
Catfish John was a river hobo who lived and died by the river’s bed |
Looking back I still remember I was proud to be his friend |
Mama said, «Don't go near that river |
Don’t be hanging around old Catfish John.» |
Come in the morning I’d always be there |
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn |
Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg, traded for a chestnut mare |
Lord her never spoke in anger though his load was hard to bear |
Mama said, «Don't go near that river |
Come in the morning I’d always be there |
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn |
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn |
