Folsom Prison Blues (C 313) (Johnny Gimble)
And let that lonesome whistle / blow my blues away
CIR L
I hear that train a comin' / it's rolling round the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine, since I don't know when
A.L. / DAD
A.L. / WEAVE
Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison & time keeps dragging on
SW / PR
Well I hear that train a-movin' / On down to San Antone
And let that lonesome whistle / blow my blues away
4 L PR / SW
CIR L
A.L. / WEAVE
I shot a man in Reno / just to watch him die
SW / PR
And let that lonesome whistle / blow my blues away
CIR L
If they free'd me from this prison & if that train were mine
Bet I'd move a little bit farther down the line
A.L. / DAD
A.L. / WEAVE
Far from Folsom Prison / That's where I want to stay
SW / PR
And let that lonesome whistle / Blow my cares away
And let that lonesome whistle / blow my blues away
