Mama said don't go near that river

Don't be hanging around old Catfish John

Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn

Take me back, to another moment

To a time, so long ago

When the sweet, magnolias blossomed

The cotton fields, were white as snow

Looking back, I still remember

Though his load, was hard to bare
