G 
I hear the train coming it's rolling round the bend

                                                G7
and I ain't seen the sunshine sine I don't know when

    C                                              G 
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on

         D7                                   G
But that train keeps rollin' on down to San Antone




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

                                          G7
always be a good boy don't ever play with guns

      C                                      G
But I shot the man in Reno just to watch him die

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




  G
I bet there's rich folks eatin' In a fancy dinin' car

                                                   G7
They're probably drinkin' coffee And smokin' big cigars

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

    D7                                                  G
But those people keep a-movin' and that's what tortures me

  


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

                                                G7
I 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

        D7                                       G
And I'd let that lonesome whistle, Blow my blues away
