Catfish John — текст песни (Dickey Lee)

Mama said don`t go near that river don`t be hanging round ol` Catfish John
Come the mornin` I`d always be there
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn

Let me dream of another mornin` and the time so long ago
When the sweet magnolias blossomed cottonfields were white as snow
Catfish John was a river hobo living by the river bend
Thinkin` back I still remember I was proud to be his friend
Mama said don`t go near that river...
[ steel ]
Born a slave in the town on Vicksburg traded for a chestnut mare
Still he never spoke in anger though his load was hard to bear
Mama said don`t go near that river...
So let me dream of another mornin` mhm mhm mhm mhm
Cottonfields were white as snow mhm mhm mhm mhm
