I [E]hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And [E]I ain't seen the sunshine, Since, I don't know when,
I'm [A]stuck in Folsom Prison, And time keeps draggin' o[E]n,
But that [B7]train keeps a-rollin', on down to San An[E]tone.
When [E]I was just a baby, My Mama told me,  Son,
[E]Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns,
But I [A]shot a man in Reno[//], Just to watch him [E]die,
When I [B7]hear that whistle blowin'[//], I hang my head and c[E]ry.

I bet [E]there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car,
[E]They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars,
Well I [A]know I had it comin', I know I can't be [E]free,
But those peop[B7]le keep a-movin'[//],And that's what tortures [E]me.

Well, [E]if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine,
I [E]bet I'd move it all a little, Farther down the line,
Far [A]from Folsom Prison, That's where I want to s[E]tay,
And I'd let [B7]that lonesome whistle, Blow my Blues aw[E]ay.
