[Refrão]
A                 D 
Mama said don't go near that river 
A                                 E 
Don't be hanging round old Catfish John 
A                   D 
Come the morning I'd always be there 
A                               E             A
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
 

        D               A 
Take me back to another morning 
     D             A 
To a time so long ago 
          D              A 
Where the sweet magnolia blossomed 
A                  E        A 
Cotton fields were white as snow 
 
 
Catfish John was a river hobo 
Lived and died by the river's bend 
Looking back I still remember 
I was proud to be his friend 
 
-Chorus- 
 
Born a slave in the town of Richmond 
Traded for a chestnut mare 
Lord he never spoke in anger 
Though his load was hard to bear 
 
-Chorus- 
 
-Chorus- 
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn
