E

I hear the train a comin'

E

It's rollin' 'round the bend,

E

And I ain't seen the sunshine,

E

Since, I don't know when,

A

I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,

E

And time keeps draggin' on,

B

But that train keeps a-rollin',

A E

On down to San Antone.

E

When I was just a baby,

E

My Mama told me, "Son,

E

Always be a good boy,

E

Don't ever play with guns,"

A

But I shot a man in Reno,

E

Just to watch him die,

B

When I hear that whistle blowin',

A E

I hang my head and cry.

E

I bet there's rich folks eatin',

E

In a fancy dining car,

E

They're probably drinkin' coffee,

E

And smokin' big cigars,

E A

But I know I had it comin',

A E

I know I can't be free,

E B

But those people keep a-movin',

A E

And that's what tortures me.

E

Well, if they freed me from this prison,

E

If that railroad train was mine,

E

I bet I'd move out over a little,

E

Farther down the line,

A

Far from Folsom Prison,

A E

That's where I want to stay,

E B

And I'd let that lonesome whistle,

A E

Blow my Blues away.
