[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E I hear the train a comin' E It's rolling round the bend E And I ain't seen the sunshine E Since I don't know when A I'm stuck in Folsom prison E And time keeps draggin' on B7 But that train keeps a rollin' E On down to San Antone
[Verse 2]
E When I was just a baby E My mama told me, son E Always be a good boy E Don't ever play with guns A7 But I shot a man in Reno E Just to watch him die B7 When I hear that whistle blowin' E I hang my head and cry
[Guitar Solo]
E A E B7 E
[Verse 3]
E Well, I bet there's rich folks eating E In a fancy dining car E They're probably drinkin' coffee E And smoking big cigars A I guess I had it coming E I know I can't be free B7 But those people keep a movin' E And that's what tortures me
[Verse 4]
E Well, if they'd free me from this prison E If that railroad train was mine E I bet I'd move just a little further E Down the line A Far from Folsom prison E That's where I want to stay B7 And I'd let that lonesome whistle E Blow my blues away...
[Outro]
