Catfish John (failed - reindex) Johnny Russell
(chorus)
[D]Mama said don't go n[G]ear that river.
[D]Don't be hanging around old Catfish [A]John.
[D]But come the morning I'd [G]always be there
[D]Walking in his footsteps in the s[D]weet delta d[D]awn.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/johnny_russell/catfish_john_crd.html )
Born a s[G]lave in the town of V[D]icksburg
Traded [G]for a chestnut[D] mare
He never [G]spoke a word in [D]anger,
[D]though his [A]load was hard to [D]bare
(CHORUS)

Catfish John was a river hobo
he lived and died on the river bend
Thinking back I still remember
I was proud to be his friend.
(CHORUS)
Let me dream of another morning
and a time so long ago
When the sweet magnolias blossomed
and the cotton fields were white as snow
(CHORUS)
