[00:09.44]Catfish John
[00:17.10]Momma said don't go near that river
[00:25.57]Don't be hangin' 'round old Catfish John
[00:34.85]Come the mornin' I'd always be there
[00:41.43]Walkin' in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
[00:48.51]Let me dream of another mor-ornin'
[00:57.80]And a ti-ime so long ago
[01:04.62]When the sweet magnolia blossom
[01:12.14]Cotton fields were white as snow
[01:19.54]Catfish John was a river hobo
[01:26.93]Livin' by the river bed
[01:34.69]Thinkin' back, I still remember
[01:41.93]I was proud to be his friend
[01:50.29]Momma said don't go near that river
[01:58.82]Don't be hangin' 'round old Catfish John
[02:08.18]Come the mornin' I'd always be there
[02:14.72]Walkin' in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
[03:22.42]Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg
[03:29.78]Traded for a chestnut mare
[03:35.42]But still he never spo-oke in anger
[03:44.76]Though his load was hard to bear
[03:53.12]Momma said don't go near that river
[04:01.73]Don't be hangin' 'round old Catfish John
[04:11.04]Come the mornin' I'd always be there
[04:26.94]Walkin' in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn
[04:33.57]Momma said don't go near that river
[04:54.22]Don't be hangin' 'round old Catfish John
[05:37.53]Come the mornin' I'd always be there
