A
The rat poison's fallin' downtown
                              E
The devil's w***e's wearin' a red nightgown
A                                     D
Here I am again in a parkin' lot just hangin' around
E                                   A
Wastin' my life waitin' for another deal to go down
 
[Chorus]
D                              A
I can hear that train a-comin, it ain't comin' back again
      D                       A                 E
I can hear the angels hummin' in that Arkansas wind
D                                      A
They're comin' to carry him off to the other side
E                                      A
Mama Rosie called, Johnny Cash has died

[Verse]
      D                                  A
I can hear that train a-comin', it ain't comin' back again
      D                             A         E
I can hear June Carter call in that Arkansas wind
D                                 A
She's waitin' there on the other side
E                                                          A
Mama that was Rosie on the phone, Mama Johnny Cash has died

[Chorus]
      D                                  A
I can hear that train a-comin', it ain't comin' back again
      D                       A                E
I can hear the angels hummin' in that Arkansas wind
D                                    A
He's singin "Jackson" with June again tonight
E                                                 A
Mama wake up Daddy, tell him Johnny Cash just died
E                                        A
It was the first time my daddy ever cried
