0Verse 1
I Fhear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when
I'm Bbstuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' Fon
But that C7train keeps a-rollin'
On down to San AnFtone
Verse 2
When FI was just a baby
My mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns"
But I Bbshot a man in Reno
Just to watch him Fdie
When I C7hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and Fcry
Verse 3
I Fbet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And I'd C7let that lonesome whistle
And smokin' big cigars
Well IBb know I had it comin'
I know I can't be Ffree
But those C7people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures Fme
Verse 4
Well, Fif they freed me from this prison
But those C7people keep a-movin'
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little
Farther down the line
BbFar from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to Fstay
And I'd C7let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues aFway
