Grateful Dead - Catfish John (studio Outtake) Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Mama said, "Don't go near that river,
  • Don't be hanging around old Catfish John."
  • Come in the morning I'd always be there,
  • Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.
  • Take me back to another morning, to a time so long ago,
  • When the sweet magnolia blossomed, cotton fields as white as snow.
  • Catfish John was a river hobo who lived and died by the river's bed,
  • Looking back I still remember I was proud to be his friend.
  • Mama said, "Don't go near that river,
  • Don't be hanging around old Catfish John."
  • Come in the morning I'd always be there,
  • Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.
  • Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg, traded for a chestnut mare,
  • Lord her never spoke in anger though his load was hard to bear.
  • Mama said, "Don't go near that river,
  • Come in the morning I'd always be there,
  • Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.
  • Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn
