Catfish John

[D] Momma said don't go [G] near that [D] river
Don't be hanging round ole Catfish [A] John
But come the [D] morning I'd [G] always [D] be there
Walking in his footsteps in that [A] sweet delta [D] dawn

Born a [G] slave in the town of [D]Vicksburg
Traded [G] for a chestnut [A] mare
But he [G] never spoke in [D] anger
Though his load was [A] hard to [D] bear
Chorus

Let me [G] dream of another [D] morning
Of a [G] time so long [A] ago
Where the [G] sweet magnolias [D] blossom
And the cotton fields were [A] white as snow
