Folsom Prison Blues

by Johnny Cash
 
C
I hear the train a coming it's rolling round the bend
                                                                C7                    
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
     F                                                              C                    
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on
             G7                                              C
 But that train keeps rolling on down to San Antone
 
 
When I was just a baby my mama told me Son
                                                          C7
Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns
       F                                                 C
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
          G7                                                           C
When I hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and cry
 
 
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
                                                                 C7
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
       F                                                   C    
But I know I had it coming I know I can't be free
      G7                                                                   C
But those people keep a moving and that's what tortures me
 
 
Well if they freed me from this prison  if that railroad train was mine
                                                               C7
I bet I'd move on over a little farther down the line
     F                                                       C                              
Far from Folsom Prison that's where I want to stay
           G7                                                   C
 And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
