[B] [E]
I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' round Bend, and I ain't seen the sun shine since
I don't know when.
[A] I'm stuck in Folsom Creek, and time [E] keeps draggin' on, [B] but that train keeps a-rollin'
on down to [E] Staten Thon.
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son, always be a good boy, don't ever play with [Abm] guns.
[A] But I shot a man in Reno just to [E] watch him die.
[Gb]
[E] [A] [B] When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head [E] and cry.

[B] [Bb]
[G] [E] I 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 can't [E] be free.
[B] But those people keep a-movin', and that's what [E] tortures me.

[E] Well, if they'd freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was not, then I'd move
it on a little farther down the line, [A] far from Folsom Creek.
That's where I want [E] to stay.
[A] [B] And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my [E] blues away.
