[Verse]
E
I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend
E
And I ain't seen the sunshine Since I don't know when
A E7 E E7
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison And time keeps draggin' on
B7 A A7 E
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

[Verse]
E
When I was just a baby My Mama told me Son
E
Always be a good boy Don't ever play with guns
A E E7 E E7
But I shot a man in Reno Just to watch him die
B7 A A7 E
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

[Break]
E E7 E E7 E E7 E E7 A A7 A A7
E E7 E E7 B7 A A7 E A A B7 E

[Verse]
E
I bet there's rich folks eatin' In some fancy dining car
E
They're probably drinkin' coffee And smokin' big cigars
A E E7 E E7
But I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free
B7 A A7 E
But those people keep a-movin' And that's what tortures me

[Verse]
E
Well if they freed me from this prison If that railroad train was mine
E
I bet I'd have it moved a little Further down the line
A E E7 E E7
Far away from Folsom Prison That's where I want to stay
B7 A A7 E
And I'd let that lonesome whistle Blow my blues away
