I hear the train coming it's rolling round the bend
G7
and I ain't seen the sunshine sine I don't know when
C G
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on
D7 G
But that train keeps rollin' on down to San Antone
G
When I was just a baby my Mama told me 'Son
G7
always be a good boy don't ever play with guns
C G
But I shot the man in Reno just to watch him die
D7 G
when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry
G
I bet there's rich folks eatin' In a fancy dinin' car
G7
They're probably drinkin' coffee And smokin' big cigars
C G
Well I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free
D7 G
But those people keep a-movin' and that's what tortures me
G
Well if they freed me from this prison If that railroad train was mine
G7
I bet I'd move it on a little Farther down the line
C G
Far from Folsom Prison That's where I want to stay
D7 G
And I'd let that lonesome whistle Blow my blues away
