E
I hear the train a comin', it's rolling round the bend
E7
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 Anton..
E
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
E7
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 blowing I hang my head and cry..

E
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
E7
they're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
A E
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
B7
But those people keep a movin'
E
And that's what tortures me...

E
Well if they'd free me from this prison,
E
If that railroad train was mine
E E7
I bet I'd move just a little further down the line
A E
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
B7 A E
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away...
