I hear that train a-comin, its rollin' round the bend.
                                                  F7
And I ain't seen the sunshine since, I don't know when.
    Bb                                              F
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on.
         C7                                      F 
But that train keeps a-rollin', on down to San Antone.



When I was just a baby, My momma told me,
                                                 F7 
"Son, always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns."
      Bb                                    F
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
       C7                                            F
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.

I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car,
                                                   F7
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars.
       Bb                                      F
Well I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free,
          C7                                             F
But those people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures me.

Well if they freed me from this prison, 

If that railroad train was mine,
                                               F7
I bet I'd move it on a little further down the line.
Bb                                             F
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay.
        C7                                       F   C7   F
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.
