[Verse 1]
Let [C]me dream [F]of another [C]morning
And a time so long ago
When the sweet magnolias blossomed
[G]Cotton [C]field[G]s were white as s[C]now
Catfish [F]John was a river [C]hobo
And he lived [F]down by the
river's [C]bend
Looking [F]back, I still remem[C]ber
I was glad [G]to be his [C]friend
Mama said, don't go [F]near that river
[C]Don't go hangin' round
old Catfish [G]John
[C]Come the mornin' I'll
[F]always be there
[C]Walkin' in his footsteps
in the [G]sweet delta [C]dawn[F][C]
[F][C][F][C][F][C][G][C][G][C]
He was born a slave
[F]in the town of Vic[C]ksburg
Traded [F]for a chestnut [C]mare
[G]But[C] he [F]never spoke in an [C]ger,
though his load [G]was hard to [C]bear
Mama said, don't go [F]near [C]that [F]river
An[C]d don't go hanging
round old Catfish [G]John
[C]Come the morning, I'll [F]always be there
Walk[C]ing in his footsteps
in [G]the sweet delta [C]dawn
I'll be walking in his footsteps
in the [G]sweet delta [C]dawn[F][C][F][G][C][G]
You
