DMama said don't go Gnear that river DDon't be hangin' around old catfish A7John

DCome the morning I'd Galways be there DWalking in his footsteps in the A7sweet delta Ddawn

Born a Gslave in the town of DVicksburg　Traded Gfor a chestnut Dmare

He never Gspoke got good in Danger　 Though his Dload was A7hard to Dbear

DMama said don't go Gnear that river DDon't be hangin' around old catfish A7John

DCome the morning I'd Galways be there DWalking in his footsteps in the A7sweet delta Ddawn

Catfish GJohn was a river Dhobo　 Lived and Gdied on the river Dbend

Lookin' Gback I still Dremember　 I was Dglad toA7 be his Dfriend

DMama said don't go Gnear that river DDon't be hangin' around old catfish A7John

DCome the morning I'd Galways be there DWalking in his footsteps in the A7sweet delta Ddawn

G----|D----|G----|D----|G----|D----|D--A7--|D----|

Let me Gdream of another Dmorning　 And the Gtime so long Dago

Where the Gsweet magnolias Dblossom　 in the Cotton Dfields as A7white as Dsnow

DMama said don't go Gnear that river DDon't be hangin' around old catfish A7John

DCome the morning I'd Galways be there DWalking in his footsteps in the A7sweet delta Ddawn

DCome the morning I'd Galways be there DWalking in his footsteps in the A7sweet delta Ddawn
