FOLSOM PRISON BLUESJohnny Cash

G I hear the train a comin’, it´s rolling round the bend G7 and I ain´t seen the sunshine since I don´t know when, C G I´m stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin´ on D7 G but that train keeps a rollin´ on down to San An-tone

G When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son, G7 always be a good boy, don´t ever play with guns. C G But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die D7 G When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry

G I bet there´s rich folks eating in a fancy dining car G7 they´re probably drinkin´ coffee and smoking big cigars. C G Well I know I had it coming, I know I can´t be free D7 G but those people keep a movin´ and that´s what tortures me

Well if they´d free me from this prison,if that railroad train was mineI bet I´d move just little further down the linefar from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stayand I´d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

LOVE POTION NUMBER 9 4/4 1…2…1234

I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth, you know the gypsy with the gold capped tooth

She’s got a pad down at Thirty-fourth and Vine, selling little bottles of ….Love Potion # 9

I told her that I was a flop with chicks. I’ve been that way since nineteen fifty-six

She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign, told me what I needed was L P #9 Chorus:

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink

She said I’m gonna mix it up right here in the sink

It smelled like turpentine and looked like India ink

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn’t know if it was day or night, I started kissing every-thing in sight

1 But when I kissed the cop down at Thirty-fourth and Vine, he broke my little bottle of L P #9. (chorus)
