Verse 1
(G major) I did this as Don Bowman.
So what? No!
Why? Same thing, fella.
I hear an airplane comin'
But I won't get upset
Last week I heard a freight train
And it ain't showed up yet
I'm (C major) stuck right here in Folsom
Just cause my wife got a (G major) sore
She fell (D major) out a hotel window
from the 19th (C major) (G major) floor.
Look, uh, hold that.
Thank you so much
for your courteous reception.
Uh, man, if I could just say quickly
(C major) how honored me and the entire band are that you asked both (G major) of us
back again this year to pick for the Folsom City Pris (C major) on Break
(D major) And the semi -annual dancin' ride (G major)
I thought no one had noticed
She had even gone away
But one look at the sidewalk
It was plain as day
She had (C major) made a great big impression
For about half (G major) a block around, actually
When the cops (D major) asked where my wife was
I said, over (G major) town, town, town,
and nobody sang that note.
We (C major) was asked to make this one
quick announcement.
Would the per (G major) son who
took the meat cleaver
from the prison kitchen this morn
(D major) ing please return the same,
because it's very sharp
and dangerous. (G major)
The court gave me a lawyer
with a record worse than mine
He's tried a lot of cases,
I sure wish he'd tried mine
(C major) He ain't no Perry Mason,
he made a deal some (G major) where
He traded (D major) life in prison for the latrine chair (G major)
By the (D major) way, for (G major) any of you that do
make it over the wall tonight,
me and the band will be playing this
(C major) weekend down at the big grand opening
of Farley McClough's (G major) new feed
-and -seed store gas station.
So we invite you to (D major) gather up the whole
family and come on by.
Free balloons for (G major) the kids.
I said I'd like sanguine,
cause I'd heard it is best
The judge said, son, I'm sorry,
but I don't take requests
I'm (C major) growing fond of Folsom,
I don't regret my (G major) past
Cause I (D major) figured it was worth it
to see Johnny Cash (G major)
Thank you. (D major) (G major) Thank you.
You're wonderful, wonderful.
