EmI grew up in the scantling yards of DWheeling West AVirginia
A wCheelhouse cub Dlooking for an open Emdoor
EmIn the packet ways a Sweeney wed the Dkeel of my ABonita
Just Ctwo months from her Dtimbers til she Emmoored
EmI paid the fare in billet on her maiden Dvoyage to AVicksburg
CAnd talked my way to hand the Dtiller on the Emcourse
EmIn her planks I carved a notch and sealed the Dvow ?Be my ABonita?
CAnd her dowry was my Dlife between the Emshores
I was Emborn with rouging Dways, and she Csteered me like a Gwoman
From the Cport calls and the bawds that lead me B7stray
The Emcalliope serenDades, made the Cold towns come Grunning
And the Cboys would gamble shards to pull her B7chains
The striker?s Cboast would fain me Dloss, about the Emwrecks the shoals were
Akeeping
And how the Cold girl?s got poor DBilly?s ransom Emsaved
EmDACDEm
On the Emlake at Bistineau, she Dset the wharf at ADixie
With a Cthousand bales of Dcotton on her Emmain
As the Emgreat raft disappeared, the Dwatermark went Asinking
And she was Cstuck right hard, a Dlisting on the Embank
With the Emfurnace still a blaze, I Dstood my last Aupon her
Then Cclimbed the prow and Dtook a landsman?s Emtrade
?A Emderelict now Milady? said the Dwatch log I?ve Aconcorded
?Have the Cbosun sound us Deight bells for the Emchange?
I wasEm born with rougingD ways, and sheC steered me like aG woman
From the Cport calls and the bawds that lead me B7stray
The Emcalliope serenDades, made the Cold towns come Grunning
And I would Emtake to wider Dwalks, so the Cgin I stopped a Gdrinking
At Cthree scores aloft this crooked B7frame
The striker?s Cboast would fain me Dloss, about the Emwrecks the shoals were

And how the Cold girl?s got poor DBilly?s ransom Emsaved

Catfish John
Please note, that some chords start in the middle of words. This
is shown by the chord being placed within a word at the point where
the chord begins, not at the start.
Slightly strange chord pattern. If you're after the normal A, D & E
pattern that's used a lot in these songs, you'll need a capo on fret
5 and go from A->E, D->A, G->D.
Permission granted to Countrytabs and Cowboylyrics to host.

DDon't be hangin' around old catfish AJohn
DBut come the morning I'd Galways be there
