Catfish John (鲶鱼约翰) - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band/Alison Krauss (艾莉森·克劳丝)

Written by：Allen Reynolds/Bob McDill

Mama said don't go near that river

Don't be hanging around old Catfish John

Come 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 he never spoke in anger though his load was hard to bear

Mama said don't go near that river

Don't be hanging around old Catfish John

Come the morning I'd always be there

Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn

Catfish John was a river hobo who lived and died by the river bed

Thinking 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 the morning I'd always be there

Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn

Let me dream in another morning to a time so long ago

When the sweet magnolia blossomed cotton fields as white as snow

Mama said don't go near that river

Don't be hanging around old Catfish John

Come the morning I'd always be there

Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn

Come the morning I'd always be there

Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn
