Joaquin Phoenix
Walk The Line Soundtrack

I am submitting all of Joaquin's songs because most of them are in a different tune than Johnny's.


CAPO: 2

(E)I hear the train a comin'
it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm(A) stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
but(E) that train keeps a rollin'(B7)on down to San Anton(E)

When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
now every time I hear that whistle I hang my head and cry..

I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
they're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
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 mine
I bet I'd move just a little further down the line
far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
