Dickey Lee - Catfish John lyrics

CATFISH JOHN G C CHORUS: Mama said don't go near that river G D don't be hanging round ole Catfish John G C Come the mornin' I'd always be there, G D G walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn G C G C G V1: Take me back to another home to a time so long ago C G D G When the sweet magnolias blossomed cotton fields as white as snow v2: Catfish John was a river hobo living down by the river's bend Thinkin' back I still remember I was proud to be his friend (CHORUS) [ instrumental] V 3: Born a slavery down in Richmond traded for a chestnut mare Still he never spoke in anger though his load was hard to bear (CHORUS) 2x and tag
