I hear that train a-comin'
It's rollin' round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't know when, but [A] I'm stuck
In Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' [E] on
[B] But that train keeps a-rollin'
[A] On down to San [E] Antonio
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, son
[E] Girls be a good boy
Don't you ever play with guns
[A] Oh, I shot a man in Reno
Yeah, just to watch him [E] die
[B] When I hear that whistle blowin'
[A] I hang my head [Em] and cry
Oh,
[E] [Am]
[A]
[E] I shot a man
[B] [Am]
[E] in Reno
Well, I met those rich folks
Eatin' in a fancy [Em] dinin' car
They're [E] probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
And [A] it's comin'
I know I can't [E] be free
[B] But the people keep on movin'
[A] And life's a tough [E] choosin'
Oh, I love this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I'd probably [Am] move it on a little
Further down to [A] Folsom Prison
That's what I [E] hope to say
And [B] I let that lonesome whistle
[A] Blow my [E] blues away
[Em]
[E] [C] [G]
[E] [C] [F#]
[A] And
[E] [A#] [B] that damned old lonesome [A] whistle
It better blow my blues away
