Hi darlin,
hope you have a great day.
The more I listen to this beautiful little song,
the more I become convinced that it would be a
good fit with your voice. It reminds me of somebody
I once thought a lot of...So here it is...
CatFish John
key=D (Regina)
key=G (Rog)
CHORUS:
[ D G D ]
[ Mama said, don't go near that river ]
[ D A ]
[ don't be hanging around old CatFish John ]
[ D G ]
[ But come morning, I'd always be there ]
[ D A D ]
[ walking in his footsteps, in the sweet delta dawn ]
G D
Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg
G D
Traded for a chestnut mare
G D
he never spoke a word in anger
D A D
though his load was hard to bear
Chorus
CatFish John was a river hobo
he lived and died in the river's bend
Looking back, I can still remember
I was proud to be his friend
Chorus
Let me dream of another morning
of a time so long ago
where the sweet magnolias blossomed
and the cotton fields were white as snow
Chorus
