Mama said go near that river

be hanging around old Catfish John

the morning I always be there

in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn

Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg

Traded for a chestnut mare

He never spoke a word of anger

Though his load was hard to bear

Mama said go near that river

be hanging around old Catfish John

the morning I always be there

in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn

Catfish John was a river hobo

Who lived and died on the river bed

Thinking back I still remember I was proud to be his friend

Mama said go near that river

be hanging around old Catfish John

the morning I always be there

in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn

Let me dream in another morning and a time so long ago

When the sweet magnolia blossomed cotton fields as white as snow

Mama said go near that river

be hanging around old Catfish John

the morning I always be there

in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn

the morning I always be there

in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn
