  E                                                     
I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend,
    E                                                   
And I ain't seen the sunshine, Since, I don't know when,
    A                                                E           
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, And time keeps draggin' on,
         B7                                      E
But that train keeps a-rollin', on down to San Antone.

     E                                        
When I was just a baby, My Mama told me,  Son,
E                                                
Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns,
      A                                     E          
But I shot a man in Reno, Just to watch him die,
       B7                                             E
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.

      E                                                 
I bet there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car,
E                                                        
They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars,
       A                                       E
Well I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free,
              B7                                        E
But those people keep a-movin',And that's what tortures me.

Well, if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine,
  E                                                    
I bet I'd move it all a little, Farther down the line,
    A                                           E        
Far from Folsom Prison, That's where I want to stay,
            B7                                     E  
And I'd let that lonesome whistle, Blow my Blues away.
