CHORUS

(D) Momma said don't go (G) near that (D) river

But come the (D) morning I'd (G) always (D) be there

Walking in his footsteps in that (A) sweet delta (D) dawn

1st verse

Traded (G) for a chestnut (A) mare

But he (G) never spoke in (D) anger

Though his load was (A) hard to (D) bear

Let me (G) dream of another (D) morning

Of a (G) time so long (A) ago

Where the (G) sweet magnolias (D) blossom

And the cotton fields were (A) white as snow
