[Verse 1]
E I hear the train a-coming, 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 Antone
[Verse 2]
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 blowin' I hang my head and cry

[Verse 3]
E I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car E7 They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars A E Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free B7 E But those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me

[Verse 4]
E Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine E7 I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line A E Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay B7 E And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
