D D                    G G
Mama said don't go near that river
D D A A
Don't be hanging around old Catfish John
D D G G
But come the morning I'd always be there
D D A A D D
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn


[Verse 1]
G G D D
Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg
G G D D
Traded for a chestnut mare
G G D D
He never spoke a word in anger
A A D D
Though his load was hard to bare

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


[Verse 2]
G G D D
Catfish John was a river hobo
G G D D
He lived and died on the river bend
G G D D
Looking back I still remember
A A D D
I was proud to be his friend


[Chorus]
D D G G
Mama said don't go near that river
D D A A
Don't be hanging around old Catfish John

But come the morning I'd always be there
D D A A D D
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn


[Verse 3]
G G D D
Let me dream of another morning
G G D D
And a time so long ago
G G D D
When the sweet magnolias blossomed
A A D D
And the cotton fields were white as snow


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


[Outro]
D D G G
But come the morning I'd always be there

Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
