VERSE 1: F You can tell the world - you never was my girl C7 You can burn my clothes - when I’m gone
Oh, you can tell your friends - just what a fool I've been F And laugh and joke about me on the phone

Or you can tell my lips - to tell my fingertips F They won't be reaching out for you no more
VERSE 2: F You can tell your ma - I moved to Arkansas C7 Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Go tell your brother Cliff - whose fist can tear my lip F He never really liked me anyway
Or tell your Aunt Louise - tell anything you please C7 My self already knows I'm not ok
And you can tell my eyes - to watch out for my mind F It might be walkin' out on me today

It’s rollin round the bend
And I ain’t seen the sunshine
Since - I don’t know when C I’m stuck in Folsom Prison G And time keeps drag - gin - on D But that train keeps a-rollin G On down to San Antone
VERSE 2: G When I was just a baby
My mama told me, “Son
Always be a good boy
Don’t ever play with guns” C But I shot a man in Reno G Just to watch - him - die D When I hear that whistle blowin G I hang my head and cry
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE: G G G G C C G G D D G

In a fancy dining car
They’re probably drinkin coffee
And smoking big cigars C But I know I had it comin G I know I can’t - be - free D But those people keep a-movin G And that’s what tortures me
VERSE 4: G Well, if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I’d move it on a little
Farther down the line C Far from Folsom Prison G That’s where I want - to - stay D And I’d let that lonesome whistle G Blow my blues away

VERSE 1: You can dance - every dance for the guy
Who gives you the eye - let him hold you tight
You can smile - every smile for the man
Who held your hand neath the pale moonlight
VERSE 2: Oh I know - that the music is fine Like sparkling wine - go and have your fun
Laugh and sing - but while we’re apart
Don’t give your heart to anyone
BRIDGE:
Baby don’t you know I love you so?

I will never, never let you go
I love you, oh, so much

Til the night is gone and it’s time to go
If he asks - if you’re all alone Can he take you home, you must tell him no
