E When I was just a baby, My Mama told me, "Son, Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns," A But I shot a man in Reno, E Just to watch him die, B7 When I hear that whistle blowin', E I hang my head and cry. E I bet there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car, They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars, A But I know I had it comin', E I know I can't be free, B7 But those people keep a-movin', E And that's what tortures me. E 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, A Far from Folsom Prison, E That's where I want to stay, B7 And I'd let that lonesome whistle, E Blow my Blues away.
