[B] [E]
I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' round Penn
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
[A] I'm stuck in Mosel Bridge and time keeps [E] draggin' on
[B] But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to [E] Staten Island
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns
[A] But I shot a man in Reno just to [E] watch him die
When [A] [B] I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head [E] and cry
[Em] [E] I
[A]
[E]
[A] [B]
[E] bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dinin' bar
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars
[A] Well, I know I had it comin', I know I [E] can't be free
But [B] those people keep a-movin', and that's what [E] tortures me
[Bm] [A]
[E]
[B]
[G] [E] Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
Then I'd move it on a little farther down the line
[A] Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want [E] to stay
[B] And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my [E] blues away
[B] [E]
[Em]
[N]
