  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     
hen 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.

      E                        
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       
Far from Folsom Prison, That's where I want to stay,
 
           B7                           E 
And I'd let that lonesome whistle, Blow my Blues away.
