Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Let me dre[G]am of another mor[D]n
ing and a [G]time so long [D]ago
When the [G]sweet magnolias [D]blossomed,
cotton fields [A]were white as [D]snow
Catfish
[G]John was a river [D]hobo,
and he [G]lived by the river [D]bend.
Thinking back[G], I still rememb[D]er,
I was proud [A]to be his [D]friend.
Mama said, don't go [G]near that river,
[D]don't go hanging around old
Catfish
[A]John.
[D]But come the morning, I'd [G]always be there,
[D]walking in his footsteps in the [A]sweet
[D]Delta[G][D][G][D][G][D][A]
[D]
Born a [G]slave in the town of
[D]Vicksburg
Traded [G]for a chestnut [D]mare
Still he [G]never spoke in [D]anger
Though his load [A]was
hard to [D]bear[A][D]
Mama said, don't go [G]near that river
[D]Don't go hangin' round old
Catfish
[A]John
[D]But come the morning I'd
[G]always be there
Walk[D]in' in his footsteps in
[A]the sweet delta [D]dawn
Let me [G]dream of another [D]morn
ing and a [G]time so long [D]ago
When the [G]sweet magnolias [D]blossomed,
cotton fields [A]were white as [D]snow

[Verse 2]
Autumn [D]leaves, [A]breathed the [D]snow.[G][D][G]
