And cotton |fields were |white as |snow |

(Repeat CHORUS)

Catfish |John |was a river |hobo |
Lived and |die on the |river |bend |
Looking |back I |still re|member |
I was |glad to |be his |friend |

(Repeat CHORUS)

Born a |slave |in the town of |Vicksburg |
Traded |for a |chestnut |mare |
But he |never |spoke in |anger |
Though his |load was |hard to |bear |

(Repeat CHORUS)

|Walking in his |footsteps in that |sweet delta |dawn
