Call me devil, call me friend

But call me blackjack hooligan

Am      E      F    C
I came all the way from Aberdeen

C    C    E    E    F   F    Am
To live among the go-betweens

Let me tell ya ‘bout Catfish Kate

Before the time we called this home


Chorus:

Down at the river bottom

And will she get away?

Where is my Blackfoot blossom

Is she just playing possum

Who lives another day?


Verse 2:

Am    E      F    C
In the valley that we all know

Am     E     F     C
A river bend that’s deep and slow

Am       E      F     C
Where every creature drinks their fill

C  C  E  E  F  F  Am
And other creatures take their kill

Am    E      F    C
Now Kate went to catch a fish

Am     E      F   C
To put inside her favorite dish

Am    E      F     C
A creature grabbed her by the head

C  C  E  E  F  F  Am
And took her to his house instead

Where is my angel fallen

Where is my Blackfoot blossom

Is she just playing possum

Who lives another day?

They wrestled all the day and night

The morning showed the bloody sight

Whiskers for her robe
