Folsom Prison Blues Johnny Cash and Gordon Jenkins 1953 (recorded by Cash in 1955)

INTRO: / 1 2 / 1 2 / [C] / [C]

I [C] hear the train a-comin'

It's [C] rollin’ round the bend And [C] I ain't seen the sunshine since

[C] I don't know [C7] when I'm [F] stuck in Folsom Prison

[F] And time keeps draggin' [C] on [C] / [C] / [C] But that [G7] train keeps a-rollin'

[G7] On down to San An-[C]tone [C]

When [C] I was just a baby

My [C] mama told me “Son [C] Always be a good boy

Don't [C] ever play with [C7] guns” But I [F] shot a man in Reno

[F] Just to watch him [C] die [C] / [C] / [C] When I [G7] hear that whistle blowin’

[G7] I hang my head and [C] cry [C]

[F] Just to watch him [C] die [C] / [C] /

[C] When I [G7] hear that whistle blowin’ [G7] I hang my head and [C] cry [C]

I [C] bet there's rich folks eatin'

In a [C] fancy dinin’ car They're [C] probably drinkin' coffee

And [C] smokin' big [C7] cigars Well I [F] know I had it comin'

[F] I know I can't be [C] free [C] / [C] / [C] But those [G7] people keep a-movin'

[G7] And that's what tortures [C] me [C]

Well if they [C] freed me from this prison

If that [C] railroad train was mine I [C] bet I’d move it on

A little [C] farther down the [C7] line [F] Far from Folsom Prison

[F] That’s where I want to [C] stay [C] / [C] / [C] And I’d [G7] let that lonesome whistle

[G7] Blow my blues a-[C]way

[C] I can go where no one else can go [Bm] I know what no one else knows [Am] Here I am just drownin' in the rain [G] With a ticket for a runaway train

[F] Everything is [G] cut and dry, [C] day and night, [Am] earth and sky [F] Somehow I [Em] just don't know and be-[G]lieve it

[C] Bought a ticket for a runaway train [Bm] Like a madman laughin' at the rain [Am] Little out of touch, little insane [G] Just easier than dealing with the pain


[C] Runaway train never comin' back [Em] Runaway train tearin' up the track [Am] Runaway train burnin' in my veins [G] Runaway but it always seems the same

[C] Runaway train never going back, [Em] wrong way on a one way track [Am] Seems like I should be getting somewhere [G] Somehow I'm neither here nor there [C] Runaway train never going back, [Em] wrong way on a one way track [Am] Seems like I should be getting somewhere [G] Somehow I'm neither here nor there

From the [C] great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific [F] shore From the [G7] green and flowing mountains to the old dell by the [C] moor She’s long and she’s handsome and [C7] quite well known by [F] all A hand[G7]some combination, called The Wabash Cannon[C]ball Hey,[C] listen to the jingle, the [C7] rumble and the [F] roar As she [G7] comes down the mountains, through the hills and by the [C] shore Hear the mighty rush of engine, hear the [C7] lonesome hobos [F] call He’s a [G7] racing through the jungle on the Wabash Cannon[C]ball. Well, [C] here’s to that old engineer, his name will ever [F] stand He’ll [G7] always be remembered in the courts throughout the [C] land When this mighty race is over and the [C7] curtain round him [F] falls They’ll [G7] carry him back to Dixie on The Wabash Cannon[C]ball Hey,[C] listen to the jingle, the [C7] rumble and the [F] roar As she [G7] comes down the mountains, through the hills and by the [C] shore Hear the mighty rush of engine, hear the [C7] lonesome hobos [F] call He’s a [G7] racing through the jungle on the Wabash Cannon[C]ball.
