Momma said don't go near that riverDon't be hangin' 'round old Catfish JohnCome the mornin' I'd always be thereWalkin' in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawnLet me dream of another mor-ornin'And a ti-ime so long agoWhen the sweet magnolia blossomCotton fields were white as snowCatfish John was a river hoboLivin' by the river bedThinkin' back, I still rememberI was proud to be his friendMomma said don't go near that riverDon't be hangin' 'round old Catfish JohnCome the mornin' I'd always be thereWalkin' in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawnBorn a slave in the town of VicksburgTraded for a chestnut mareBut still he never spo-oke in angerThough his load was hard to bearMomma said don't go near that riverLetras de cancionesDon't be hangin' 'round old Catfish JohnCome the mornin' I'd always be thereWalkin' in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawnMomma said don't go near that riverDon't be hangin' 'round old Catfish JohnCome the mornin' I'd always be there [fade] From Letras Mania
