FOLSOM PRISON BLUES
C7 C7 F F
F F F F
I hear the train a comin’, it's rolling round the bend
F F F F
and I ain't seen the sunshine since _I don't know when,
Bb Bb Bb Bb F F
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin’ on
C7 C7 C7 C7 F F
but that train keeps a rollin’ on down to San Anton..
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 blowing I hang my head and cry..
SOLO 1 vers
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
they're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
but those people keep a movin' and that's what tortures me...
SOLO 1 vers
Well if they'd free me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little further 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.....
