Johnny Cash
Folsom Prison Blues
With His Hot And Blue Guitar (1955)

Capo ~2e fret (en ~F♯)

B7  f♯^ E(/B)

  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
         B7
But that train keeps a-rollin'
                 E
On down to San Antone

When I was just a baby
My Mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and cry

(instr)  b a♯ f♯^ e

I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
But 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

(instr)  b a♯ f♯^ e

Well, if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move out over 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

B7  f♯^ E
