Folsom Prison Blues: BUG

[G][G]

[G] I hear the train a comin' it's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since [G7] I don't know when I'm [C] stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' [G] on [G] But that [D7] train keeps a rollin' on down to San An[G]ton [G]

[G] When I was just a baby my mama told me son Always be a good boy don't [G7] ever play with guns But I [C] shot a man in Reno just to watch him [G] die [G] When I [D7] hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and [G] cry [G]

[G] I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee and [G7] smoking big cigars Well I [C] know I had it coming I know I can't be [G] free [G] But those [D7] people keep a movin' And that's what tortures [G] me [G]

[G] If they'd free me from this prison If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it all a little [G7] further down the line [C] Far from Folsom prison that's where I want to [G] stay [G] And I'd [D7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a[G]way [G]

And I'd [D7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a[G]way [G]

[Am] Hey hey hey hey, Hey hey hey hey


[A] Hey hey [G] hey hey [F] Hey hey [E7] hey hey

[A] Hey hey [G] hey hey [F] Hey hey [E7] hey hey

BOYS: There [Am] lived a certain man, in Russia long ago

GIRLS: He was [Dm] big and strong, in his [E7] eyes a flaming [Am] glow

BOYS: Most people looked at him, in terror and in fear

GIRLS: But to [Dm] Moscow chicks he was [E7] such a lovely [Am] dear

He could preach the bible like a preacher

[Dm] Full of ecstasy and [E7] fire

[Am] But he also was the kind of teacher

[Dm] Women [E7] would de- [Am] sire

Chorus (ALL):

[A] Ra Ra [C] Rasputin, [D] lover of the [A] Russian queen

[G] There was a [D] cat that [A] really was gone

[A] Ra Ra [C] Rasputin, [D] Russia’s greatest [A] love machine

[G] It was a [D] shame how [A] he carried on

BOYS: He [Am] ruled the Russian land, and never mind the Czar

GIRLS: But the [Dm] ka-sa-chok, he danced [E7] really wunder- [Am] bar

BOYS: In all affairs of state, he was a man to please

GIRLS: But he [Dm] was real great when he [E7] had a girl to [Am] squeeze

For the Queen he was no wheeler dealer

[Dm] Though she’d heard the things he’d [E7] done///

[Am] She believed he was a holy healer

[Dm] Who would [E7] heal her [Am] son///

Chorus (ALL)

BOYS (spoken): (while group strum single chord only Am --- G --- F - G - Am ---)

[Am!] But when his drinking and [G!] lusting and his hunger

For [F!] power became [G!] known to more and [Am!] more people

[add GIRLS, quietly at first, getting louder: Hey hey etc]

[Am!] The demands to do something [G!] about this outrageous

Man [F!] became [G!] louder and [Am!] louder.

ALL, getting louder:


Hey hey hey hey, Hey ! (2-3-4)

BOYS: “This [Am] man’s just got to go”, de-clared his enemies

GIRLS: But the [Dm] ladies begged, “Don’t you [E7] try to do it [Am] please”

BOYS: No doubt this Rasputin, had lots of hidden charms

GIRLS: Though he [Dm] was a brute, they just [E7] fell into his [Am] arms

Then one night some men of higher standing

[Dm] Set a trap they’re not to [E7] blame [BOYS: We’re not to blame; we’re not to blame!]

[Am] “Come to visit us,” they kept demanding

[Dm] And he [E7] really [Am] came

As chorus (ALL):


[G] They put some [D] poison [A] into his wine


[G] He drank it [D] all and [A] said “I feel fine”


[G] They didn’t [D] quit, they [A] wanted his head


[G] And so they [D] shot him [A] till he was dead [till he was dead] [till he was dead]

[Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!]

Spoken: Oh those Russians…….

Back in Durham Jail - Jez Lowe Arr. Andy Britton for Blackwood Uke Group

Intro: C-G-D-G C-G-D-G

Verse 1: I'm a [G]poor man as [D]honest as they come

I [G]never was a thief until they [D]caught me,

The [G]judge said he [D]swore me hands were red,

No [G]matter how I [D]pled they found me [G]guilty,

There was [D]no bail, I'm [G]off to Durham Jail,

I'm [D]going and nothing now can [G]save me,

Ca[D]lamities they [G]always come in threes,

And that's how many [D]months it was they [G]gave me.

Fill: C-G-D-G C-G-D-G

Verse 2: 'Twas a [G]gray day when [D]first I went astray,

The [G]devil take the man who came to [D]tempt me,

For in [G]no time me [D]life was one of crime,

And [G]now you see the [D]trouble that its [G]got me.

There are [D]four bare [G]walls at which stare,

Me [D]food and me lodgings they are [G]paid for,

You [D]can't see the [G]turning of the key,

To hear the turning [D]that is all you [G]wait for.

Chorus: And [C]it's no [G]never in the [D]livelong [G]day,

[C]Will you [G]find me back in [D]Durham [G]Jail.

[C]No [G]never in the [D]livelong [G]day,

[C]Will you [G]find me back in [D]Durham [G]Jail.

Verse 3: Oh it's [G]sad to say that [D]here I am to stay,

With [G]only iron bars around to [D]lean on,

I get a [G]cold bath to [D]dampen down me wrath,

Though it's [G]barely just a [D]month ago I [G]got one,

[D]God knows I [G]need a suit of clothes,

You'd [D]think they could have found a one to [G]fit me

Me [D]boots would be fine if [G]they were both a nine,

I'm walking like a [D]fall of stones had [G]hit me

Instrumental verse & fill:

G-G-D-D G-G-D-D G-G-D-D G-D-G-G

D-D-G-G D-D-G-G D-D-G-G G-D-G-G

C-G-D-G C-G-D-G

Verse 4: And I'm [G]sure that me [D]mother's heart would break,

To [G]see me in a state of such re[D]pentance,

I'm [G]glad she's [D]not around to see,

And I'll be [G]out before she [D]finishes her [G]sentence,

The [D]sun will shine, I'll [G]leave it all behind,

Know[D]ing I've done me time and done me [G]duty,

Then [D]out of the gate on the [G]narrow and the straight,

To the place where I've [D]buried all the [G]booty.

Repeat chorus:

Finish with single strum on the final '[G]Jail.'

Whiskey In The Jar Irish traditional song

As [C] I was going over the [Am] Cork and Kerry mountains I [F] met with captain Farrell and his [C] money he was counting, I first produced my pistol and [Am] then produced my rapier, Saying [F] “Stand and deliver for you [C] are my bold deceiver.”

Mush-a [G] ring dum-a do dum-a da! [C] Whack fol the daddy oh! [F] Whack fol the daddy oh! There’s [C] whiskey [G] in the [C] jar.

He [C] counted out his money and it [Am] was a pretty penny I [F] put it in my pocket and I [C] took it home to Jenny. She sighed and she swore that [Am] never would she leave me, But the [F] devil take the women for they [C] never can be easy.


I [C] went in to my chamber all [Am] for to take a slumber, I [F] dreamt of gold and jewels and for [C] sure it was no wonder, For Jenny drew my charges and then [Am] filled them up with water, And she [F] sent for Captain Farrell to be [C] ready for the slaughter.


’Twas [C] early in the morning be-[Am]-fore I rose to travel, Up [F] crept a band of footmen and sure [C] with them Captain Farrell, I then produced my pistol for she [Am] stole away my rapier, But I [F] couldn’t shoot the water so a [C] prisoner I was taken.


If [C] anyone can help me it’s my [Am] brother in the army, If [F] I could learn his station be it [C] Cork or in Killarney, And if he’d come and join me we’d go [Am] roving in Kilkenny, I [F] know he’d treat me fairer than me [C] darling sporting Jenny.

Mush-a [G] ring dum-a do dum-a da! [C] Whack fol the daddy oh! [F] Whack fol the daddy oh! There’s [C] whiskey [G] in the [C] jar. Now [C] some men take their pleasure in the riding [Am] and the roving And [F] others take their pleasure in the [C] gambling and the smoking But [C] I take my pleasure from the [Am] juices of the barley And [F] courting pretty maidens in the [C] morning bright and early
