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
