             C
 I hear the train a coming it's rolling round the bend
                                               C7                
 And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
    F                                           C                  
 I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on
           G7                                 C
  But that train keeps rolling on down to San Antone
  
  
 When I was just a baby my mama told me Son
                                        C7
 Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns
      F                                  C
 But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
       G7                                         C 
 When I hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and cry
  
  
 I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
                                             C7
 They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
      F                                    C     
 But I know I had it coming I know I can't be free
     G7                                              C
 But those people keep a moving and that's what tortures me
  
  
 Well if they freed me from this prison  if that railroad train was mine
                                              C7
 I bet I'd move on over a little farther down the line
    F                                      C                               
 Far from Folsom Prison that's where I want to stay
         G7                                    C
  And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
