Folsom Prison Blues (live) Johnny Cash
Folsom Prison Blues (Live)
by Johnny Cash
[F] I hear the train a-comin. It's rollin round the bend, and I ain't seen
the sunshine since I don't know when. I'm st[Bb]uck in Folsom Prison, and
time keeps draggin [F]on. But that tr[C]ain keeps a-rollin on down the San
An[F]tone. When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son, always be a good
boy, don't ever play with guns, but I s[Bb]hot a man in Reno just to watch
him d[F]ie. When I h[C]ear that whistle blowin, I hang my head and c[F]ry.
I'll bet there's rich folks eatin on a fancy dinin car. They're probly
drinkin coffee and smokin big cigars, well, I know I had it comin, I
know I can't be free, but those people keep a-movin, and that's what
tortures me. Well, if they free me from this prison, if that railroad
train was mine, I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line, far
from Folsom Prison. That's where I want to stay. And I'd let that
lonesome whistle blow my blues away.
