《Catfish John》歌词

[00:00:02] Catfish John (鲶鱼约翰) - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

[00:00:24] Mama said: 'Don't go near that river'

[00:00:28] 'Don't be hanging around old Catfish John'

[00:00:35] 'Come the morning I'd always be there'

[00:00:40] 'Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn'

[00:00:45] Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg

[00:00:51] Traded for a chestnut mare

[00:00:56] He never spoke a word of anger

[00:01:01] Though his load was hard to bear

[00:01:08] Mama said: 'Don't go near that river'

[00:01:14] 'Don't be hanging around old Catfish John'

[00:01:20] 'Come the morning I'd always be there'

[00:01:25] 'Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn'

[00:01:52] Catfish John was a river hobo

[00:01:57] Who lived and died on the river bed

[00:02:03] Thinking back I still remember I was proud to be his friend

[00:02:15] Mama said: 'Don't go near that river'

[00:02:21] 'Don't be hanging around old Catfish John'

[00:02:27] 'Come the morning I'd always be there'

[00:02:32] 'Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn'

[00:02:59] Let me dream in another morning and a time so long ago

[00:03:10] When the sweet magnolia blossomed cotton fields as white as snow

[00:03:20] Mama said: 'Don't go near that river'

[00:03:27] 'Don't be hanging around old Catfish John'

[00:03:34] 'Come the morning I'd always be there'

[00:03:39] 'Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn'

[00:03:46] 'Come the morning I'd always be there'

[00:03:51] 'Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn'
