Folsom Prison Blues Johnny Cash
E
I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
E7
Since, I don't know when
A
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
E
And time keeps draggin' on
B
But that train keeps a-rollin'
B E
On down to San Antone
E
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy
E7
Don't ever play with guns"
A
But I shot a man in Reno
E
Just to watch him die
B
When I hear that whistle blowin'
B E
I hang my head and cry
E
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
E7
And smokin' big cigars
A
But I know I had it comin'
E
I know I can't be free
B
But those people keep a-movin'
B E
And that's what tortures me
E
Well, if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little
E7
Farther down the line
A
Far from Folsom Prison
E
That's where I want to stay
B
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
B E
Blow my blues away
