[E]
[B]
I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' around the pit
And I see the sun shine
I don't know that [A] I'm gonna get through
And [E] I'm [E]
not [B] gonna play
[E]
But I would just, 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 watch [E] him die
When [B] I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my [E] head and cry
[A]
[E]
[B]
[E]
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dinin' car
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's always [E] tearing me
Reggie Young, [Em] one more time, Reg
Yeah, [E]
[A]
yeah, [E]
[B]
[E] yeah
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]
