Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash
(from Live at Folsom Prison)


The other versions of this song on guitartabs are completely wrong.
Here is the correct version.


F
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,

Bb F
I`m stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin` on.

C F
But that train keeps a-rollin` on down to San Antone.


2. When I was just a baby, my momma 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.

3. I bet there`s rich folk eatin`in a fancy dining car.
They`re prob`ly 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.

4. Well if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
I bet I`d move it all 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.
