I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' around the bend,
And I ain't seen the sun shine since I don't know when.
[B] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps [F#] dragging on,
[C#] But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to [F#] Sandan.
When I was just a baby, my mama told me,
Son, always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
[B] But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch [F#] him die.
[C#] When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head [F#] and cry.
[B]

[C#]
[F#] I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car,
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars.
[B] But I know I had it comin', I know I can [F#] be free.
[C#] But those people keep a-movin', I'm not what for, [F#] sir.
[B]
[F#]
[C#]
[F#] Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line,
[B] Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I [F#] want to stay.
And [C#] I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.
[N]
