Thank you very much This next song was written by a man right here in Folsom prison And last night was the first time I've ever sung this song Anyways, this song was written by our friend Glen Shirley Um, hope we do your song justice Glen, we're going to do our best Inside the walls of prison my body may be But my Lord has set my soul free There's a greystone chapel here at Folsom A house of worship in this den of sin You wouldn't think that God had a place here at Folsom But he saved the souls of many lost men Now there's greystone chapel here at Folsom Stands a hundred years old made of granite rock It takes a ring of keys to move here at Folsom But the door to the House of God is never locked Inside the walls of prison my body may be But my Lord has set my soul free There are men here that don't ever worship There are men here who scoff at the ones who pray But I've got down on my knees in that greystone chapel And I thank the Lord for helpin' me each day Now there's greystone chapel here at Folsom It has a touch of God's hand on ever stone It's a flower of light in a field of darkness And it's givin' me the strength to carry on Inside the walls of prison my body may be But my Lord has set my soul free Have an announcement from Lt. Piper Ah, steady Uh, Duffy, number nine oh four seven, custody office There's a gentleman here I'd like to have stand up, who's a very very proud man He used to be many years ago, a bad land farmer down in Dias, Arkansas But he's Johnny Cash's daddy, Mr. Ray Cash I'd like to bring up a gentleman who's got something to say to Johnny Cash This gentleman you all know, the associate warden Mr. Fausman Good to see you sir. You want Mr. John Cash, don't ya Sorta like to, yes. Johnny Johnny a little memento from Folsom prison. Like a cuddle up We'll make him one of the in group when he's out Thank you Mr. Fousman One other announcement.
