[E]I hear the train a comin', it's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since [E7]I don't know when,
I'm st[A]uck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' [E]on
but that tr[B7]ain keeps a rollin' on down to San An[E]ton..
[E]When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
always be a good boy, do[E7]n't ever play with guns.
But I s[A]hot a man in Reno just to watch him d[E]ie
when I h[B7]ear that whistle blowing I hang my head and c[E]ry..

[E]I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
they're probably drinkin' coffee an[E7]d smoking big cigars.
Well[A] I know I had it coming, I know I can't be f[E]ree
But those[B7] people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures m[E]e...

[E]Well if they'd free me from this prison,
[E]If that railroad train was mine
[E]I bet I'd move just a little fu[E7]rther down the line
Fa[A]r from Folsom prison, that's where I want to [E]stay
An[B7]d I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues [A]awa[E]y...
