[C] [F]
I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' around thin, and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when.
[Bb] I'm lookin' for some prison, and time keeps [F] draggin' on, [C] but the train keeps rollin' on down to [F] San Antonio.
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son, always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But [Bb] I shot a man in Reno just to watch [F] him die.
When [C] I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my [F] head and cry.
[Bb]
[F]
[C]
[F] I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dinin' car.
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars.
[Bb] Well, I know I had it comin', I know I can't [F] be free.
But [C] those people keep a -movin', and that's what [F] forges me.
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.
[Bb] Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want [F] to stay.
[C] And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my [F] blues away.
[C]
Blow my [F] blues away.
