1. I hear the train a comin' it's rollin' 'round the bent

                                       G7

   and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when

         C                                           G

   I'm stuck at Folsom prison and time keeps drogin' on

              D                                     G

   but that train keeps rollin' on down to San Antone.



2. When I was just a baby my mama told me son

   always be a good boy don't ever play with gun

   but I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die

   when I hear that whistle blows I hang my head and cry.



3. I bet there's rich folks eatin' from a fancy dinning car

   they're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars

   well I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free

   but those people keep a movin' and that's what torlures me.



4. Well if they freed me from this prison if this railroad train was mine

   I bet I'd movin' over a little farther down the line

   far from Folsom prison that's where I want to stay

   and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.
