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

G7and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when

C GI'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on

D7 GBut that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

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

G7always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'

C GBut I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

D7 Gwhen I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

G | G7 | G | G7

C | C | G | G

D7| D7| G |

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

G7They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars

C GWell, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free

D7 GBut those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me

G | G7 | G | G7

C | C | G | G

D7| D7| G |

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

G7I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line

C GFar from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay

D7 GAnd I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
