[D][A] [D][A] [D][A]
[A] Mama said don't go [D] near that [A] river
Don't be hanging around old Catfish [E7] John
[A] But come the morning I'd [D] always [A] be there
Walking in his footsteps in [E7] sweet delta [A] dawn
Catfish [D] John was a river ho-[A]bo
He lived and [D] died on the river [A] bend
Thinking [D] back I still re-[A]member
I was proud to [E7] be his [A] friend
[A] Mama said don't go [D] near that [A] river
Don't be hanging around old Catfish [E7] John
[A] But come the morning I'd [D] always [A] be there
Walking in his footsteps in [E7] sweet delta [A] dawn

{eos}
Born a [D] slave in the town of [A] Vicksburg
Traded [D] for a chestnut [A] mare
Still [D] he never spoke a in [A] anger
Though his load [E7] was hard to [A] bear
[A] Mama said don't go [D] near that [A] river
Don't be hanging around old Catfish [E7] John
[A] But come the morning I'd [D] always [A] be there
Walking in his footsteps in [E7] sweet delta [A] dawn
