[C]
[F] I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' round the bend, and I ain't seen the sunshine since, I don't know when.
[Bb] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, [F] and time keeps draggin' on, [C] but that train keeps rollin' on down to San [F] Antone.
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son, always be a good boy, don't ever play with [Am] guns.
But [Bb] I shot a man in Reno, just to [F] watch him die.
Yeah, to watch him die.
[C] Hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head [Fm] and cry.
The Tennessee Three!
Yes, I do.

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 be [F] free.
[Eb] [C] But those people keep a -movin', and that's what glorifies [F] me.
Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
I bet 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 [Ab] blues [F] away.
[C]
[F] Yeah!
