[Verse]
A
I hear the train a comin
A
It's rollin' 'round the bend
A
And I ain't seen the sunshine
A7
Since, I don't know when
D
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
A
And time keeps draggin' on
A E
But that train keeps a-rollin'
A
On down to San Antone
A
When I was just a baby
A
My Mama told me, "Son
A
Always be a good boy
A7
Don't ever play with guns"
D
But I shot a man in Reno
A
Just to watch him die
E
When I hear that whistle blowin'
A
I hang my head and cry
A
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
A
In a fancy dining car
A
They're probably drinkin' coffee
A7
And smokin' big cigars
D
But I know I had it comin'
A
I know I can't be free
E
But those people keep a-movin'
A
And that's what tortures me
A
Well, if they freed me from this prison
A
If that railroad train was mine
A
I bet I'd move it on a little
A7
Farther down the line
D
Far from Folsom Prison
A
That's where I want to stay
E
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
A
Blow my blues away
