  F
I hear the train a comin'

It's rollin' 'round the bend, And I ain't seen the sunshine, Since, I don't know when,

    Bb
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,

                        F
And time keeps draggin' on,

         C7
But that train keeps a-rollin',

                 F
On down to San Antone.

     F
When I was just a baby,

My Mama told me, "Son, Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns,"

      Bb
But I shot a man in Reno,

                  F
Just to watch him die,

       C7
When I hear that whistle blowin',

                   F
I hang my head and cry.

  F
I bet there's rich folks eatin',

In a fancy dining car, They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars,

      Bb
But I know I had it comin',

                  F
I know I can't be free,

          C7
But those people keep a-movin',

                         F
And that's what tortures me.

      F
Well, if they freed me from this prison,

If that railroad train was mine, I bet I'd move out over a little, Farther down the line,

Bb
Far from Folsom Prison,

                       F
That's where I want to stay,

        C7
And I'd let that lonesome whistle,

               F
Blow my Blues away.
