to Folsom Prison Blues
E
I hear the kingdom’s coming it's coming round the bend
E7
This world ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
A E
This sinful life’s a prison and time keeps draggin' on
B7 E
But God’s reign keeps rollin' on out from the throne
---
When I was just a baby my mama told me Son
E7
Always be a good boy you’re one of God’s sons
A E
But you’re not a man bambino if you live a lie
B7 E
When I hear that sin is growing I hang my head and cry
---
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
E7
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
A E
But I know they have it coming I know they can't be free
B7 E
While they look so disapproving at folks in poverty
---
Well if they knew the Lord had risen if they lived the life divine
E7
I bet they'd move on over a little farther down the line
A E
Far from selfish living that's where I want to stay
B7 E
And I'd bet that Jesus’ Gospel blows the blues away
