FI hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend

F7and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when

A# FI'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on

C7 FBut that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

FWhen I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son,

F7always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'

A# FBut I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

C7 Fwhen I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

F | F7 | F | F7

A# | A# | F | F

C7| C7| F |

FI bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car

F7They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars

A# FWell, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free

C7 FBut those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me

F | F7 | F | F7

A# | A# | F | F

C7| C7| F |

FWell, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine

F7I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line

A# FFar from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay

C7 FAnd I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
