{c:1}
I [C]hear the train acomin', it's rollin' round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine [C7]since I don't know when.
I'm [F]stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' [C]on.
But that [G]train keeps on rollin' [G7]down to San An[C]tone.
{c:2}
[C]When I was just a baby my Mama told me "Son,
Always be a good boy, don't [C7]ever play with guns"
But I [F]shot a man in Reno just to watch him [C]die.
When I [G]hear that whistle blowin' I [G7]hang my head and [C]cry
{c:3}
[C]I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and [C7]smokin' big cigars
But [F]I know I had it comin', I know I can't be [C]free
But those [G]people keep a-movin' and [G7]that's what tortures [C]me
{c:4}
[C]Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it over a little [C7]farther down the line
Far [F]from Folsom Prison that's where I want to [C]stay
And I'd [G]let that lonesome whistle [G7]blow my blues a[C]way
