Jerry Garcia Band – Catfish John Lyrics

Artist: Jerry Garcia Band
Song: Catfish John

Mama said, “Don’t go near that river
Don’t be hangin’ around old Catfish John”
Come the morning, I’d always be there
Walkin’ in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn

Take me back to another morning
To a time so long ago
When the sweet magnolias blossom
Cotton fields was white as snow

Catfish John was a river hobo
Lived and died by the river’s bend
Looking back I still remember
I was proud to be his friend

Mama said, “Don’t go near that river
Don’t be hangin’ around old Catfish John”
Come the morning, I’d always be there
Walkin’ in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn

Mama said, “Don’t go near that rivеr
Don’t be hangin’ around old Catfish John”
Come the morning, I’d always bе there
Walkin’ in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn

Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg
Traded for a chestnut mare
Lord, he never spoke in anger
Though his load was hard to bear

Mama said, “Don’t go near that river
Don’t be hangin’ around old Catfish John”
Come the morning, I’d always be there
Walkin’ in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn

Mama said, “Don’t go near that river
Don’t be hangin’ around old Catfish John”
Come the morning, I’d always be there
Walkin’ in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn

Walkin’ in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn
