FOLSOM PRISON BLUES

C
I hear the train a comin' it's rollin' round the bend.
                                    C7
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when.
     F                                              C
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on.
         G                                      C
But that train keeps on rollin', on down to San Antone.

C
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.
            G                                             C
Now, when I hear that whistle blowin', I hold my head and cry.

  C
I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dinin' car.
                                    C7
They're probably drinkin' coffee an smokin' big cigars.
        F                                       C 
Well, I know I had it comin'; I know I can't be free.
          G                                              C
But those people keep on movin' and that's what tortures me!

C7    F    C    G    C

C
Well, they feed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
                              C7
I bet I'd move it on a little further down the line.
F                                              C
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay!
        G                                        C
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.
