Catfish John chords

[CHORUS]
[D]Momma said don't go [G]near that [D]river
Don't be hanging round ole Catfish [A]John
But come the [D]morning I'd [G]always [D]be there
Walking in his footsteps in that [A]sweet delta [D]dawn

[VERSE]
Born a [G]slave in the town of [D]Vicksburg
Traded [G]for a chestnut [A]mare
But he [G]never spoke in [D]anger
Though his load was [A]hard to [D]bear

[CHORUS]
[D]Momma said don't go [G]near that [D]river
Don't be hanging round ole Catfish [A]John
But come the [D]morning I'd [G]always [D]be there
Walking in his footsteps in that [A]sweet delta [D]dawn

[VERSE 2]
Let me [G]dream of another [D]morning
Of a [G]time so long [A]ago
Where the [G]sweet magnolias [D]blossom
And the cotton fields were [A]white as snow
