G#I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend

G#7and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when

C# G#I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on

D#7 G#But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

G#When I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son,

G#7always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'

C# G#But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

D#7 G#when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

G# | G#7 | G# | G#7

C# | C# | G# | G#

D#7| D#7| G# |

G#I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car

G#7They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars

C# G#Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free

D#7 G#But those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me

G# | G#7 | G# | G#7

C# | C# | G# | G#

D#7| D#7| G# |

G#Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine

G#7I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line

C# G#Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay

D#7 G#And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
