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

C7and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when

F CI'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on

G7 CBut that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

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

C7always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'

F CBut I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

G7 Cwhen I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

C | C7 | C | C7

F | F | C | C

G7| G7| C |

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

C7They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars

F CWell, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free

G7 CBut those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me

C | C7 | C | C7

F | F | C | C

G7| G7| C |

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

C7I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line

F CFar from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay

G7 CAnd I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
