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

B7and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when

E BI'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on

F#7 BBut that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

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

B7always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'

E BBut I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

F#7 Bwhen I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

B | B7 | B | B7

E | E | B | B

F#7| F#7| B |

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

B7They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars

E BWell, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free

F#7 BBut those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me

B | B7 | B | B7

E | E | B | B

F#7| F#7| B |

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

B7I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line

E BFar from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay

F#7 BAnd I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
