michaelr said,"Is that the Garcia/Hunter song "Catfish John"?

--"Mama said, don't go near that river
Don't be hanging around ol' Catfish John
Come the morning I'd always be there
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn"

That one?"

He's probably not still following this thread, but the song he quoted was not a Garcia/Hunter song. It was written by Bob McDill and Allen Reynolds. I think the Dead did cover this, but they didn't write it.
