E5
I hear that train a-comin' it's rollin' 'round the bend

And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
    A5                                     E5
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on
         B5                                      E5
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down the San Antone

When I was just a baby my mama told me son
Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns
But I shot a man in reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' 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 tortures me

(solo)

If they freed me from this prison if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on 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
