Folsom Prison Blues 
                Johnny Cash
 
  E
I hear the train a comin' it's rollin 'round the bend
                                                 E7 
and I a'int seen the sunshine since I don't know when
    A                                               E
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on.
    B7                 A                        E
But that train keeps a movin' on down to San An-tone

When I was just a baby my mame told me, "Son
                                           E7
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
    A                                       E
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
     B7                 A                          E
When I hear the whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.


  E
I bet there's rich folk eatin'in a fancy dining car.
                                                E7
They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars,
    A                                         E
But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free,
    B7                  A                                E
But those people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures me.


      E               
Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
                                                E7    
I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line
    A                                          E
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay
    B7                    A                       E
And I'd let that lonesome whistle, blow my blues away
