The Singing Scoutmaster: Johnny Cash Medley

Intro

F

I Fhear the train a comin',

it's rollin'round the bend,

And I ain't seen the sunshine,

since, F7I don't know when,

I'm Bbstuck in Folsom Prison,

and time keeps draggin' Fon,

But that C7train keeps a-rollin',

on down to San AnFtone.

When FI was just a baby,

my Mama told me, 'Son,

Always be a good boy,

don't F7ever play with guns,'

But I Bbshot a man in Reno,

just to watch him Fdie,

When I C7hear that whistle blowin',

I hang my head and Fcry.

F/// D7///

I Gbet there's rich folks

eatin' in a fancy dining car,

They're probably drinkin' coffee,

and G7smokin' big cigars,

But I Cknow I had it comin',

I know I can't be Gfree,

But those D7people keep a-movin',

and that's what tortures Gme.

Well, if they Gfreed me from this prison,

if that railroad train was mine

I bet I'd move it on a little

G7further down the line,

CFar from Folsom Prison,

that's where I want to Gstay,

And I'd D7let that lonesome whistle,

blow my Blues Gaway. G//////

I keep a Dclose watch on this heart of Gmine

I keep my Deyes wide open all the Gtime

I keep the Cends out for the tie that Gbinds

Because you're Dmine, I walk the Gline

I find it Dvery, very easy to be Gtrue

I find myDself alone when day is Gthrough

Yes, I'll adCmit that I'm a fool for Gyou

Because you're Dmine, I walk the Gline

As sure as Dnight is dark and day is Glight

I keep you Don my mind both day and Gnight

And happiCness I've known proves that it's Gright

Because you're Dmine, I walk the Gline. G/// A///

You've got a E7way to keep me on your Aside

You give me E7cause for love that I can't Ahide

For you I Dknow I'd try to turn the Atide

Because you're E7mine, I walk the Aline

I keep a E7close watch on this heart of Amine

I keep my E7eyes wide open all the Atime

I keep the Dends out for the tie that Abinds

Because you're E7mine, I walk the Aline

Because you're E7mine, I walk the Aline

Because you're E7mine, I walk the Aline
