Folsom Prison Blues (Walk the Line)
392. Folsom Prison Blues (Walk the Line)
I G (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 C (IV) stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' G (I) on
But that D (V) train keeps a-rollin' on down to San An- G (I) tone
When G (I) I was just a baby My Mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy Don't ever play with guns,"
But I C (IV) shot a man in Reno just to watch him G (I) die
When I D (V) hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and G (I) cry
I G (I) bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars
But I C (IV) know I had it comin' I know I can't be G (I) free
But those D (V) people keep a-movin' and that's what tortures G (I) me
Well, if they G (I) freed me from this prison If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move out over a little farther down the line
C (IV) Far from Folsom Prison that's where I want to G (I) stay
And I'd D (V) let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a- G (I) way
