_ _ [E] _ _ [A] Mama said [D] don't go near that river, [A] _ won't be hanging around old [E] Catfish John.
_ _ [A] _
From the morning [D] I'd always be there, [A] walking in his footsteps [E] in the sweet [A] sheltered dawn. _
[D] Take me back to [A] another morning, _ [D] to our town so [A] long ago. _
[D] Where the sweet _ [A] magnolia blossoms, _ cotton [E] fields were [A] white as snow. _ _
[D] Catfish John was [A] a river hobo, _ [D] lived and died by [A] the river's bend.
[D] Looking back I [A] still remember, _ I was [E] proud to [A] be his friend. _ _
_ Mama said [D] don't go near that river, [A] _ won't be hanging around [E] old Catfish John.
_ [A] _ From the morning [D] I'd always be there, walking in his footsteps [E] in the [A] sweet sheltered dawn.

[A] Catfish John, I'm _ _ [D] so sorry, _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] he's not [A] my friend.
[D] Born a slave in the [A] town of Exmoor, _ [D] treated for a [A] chestnut mare.
_ [D] So he never _ [A] spoke in anger, although his love [E] was hard [A] to bear.
_ _ Mama said [D] don't go near that river, [A] won't be hanging around old [E] Catfish John.
