By Johnny Cash Key:G G -8 -8 -8 9 -9 7 7 I hear that train a-com-in' -8 -8 -8 9 -9 -8 It's rol-lin' 'round the bend, G#dim -8 -8 -8 9 9* -9 7 And I ain't seen the sun-shine, 7 -8 -8 -8 -7* Since, I don't know when, C -7* -7 7 -7 7 -7 7 I'm stuck in Fol-som Pri-son, G -7 -7 7 -7* 7 -5 And time keeps drag-gin' on, D7 -8 -8 -7 -7 -7 7 -5 But that train keeps a-rol-lin', G -5 -5 -5 -55 -3*-3 3 On down to San An- tone. 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. 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. 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. |
