[G]
I hear the train a coming, it's rolling round the bend
[G] I don't know when
on
down to [G] San Antonio
I was used to babying my mama's jokey son
ever play with [C] guns
die
I hear the train a coming, it's rolling round the bend
[G] I don't know when
on
down to [G] San Antonio
I was used to babying my mama's jokey son

_ _ _ _ _ _ I hear the train a coming, it's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since [G] I don't know when
[C] Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, time keeps [G] dragging on
_ _ But [D] the train keeps on rolling down to [G] San Antonio _ _ _
I was used to babying my mama's jokey son
Always being good boy, don't ever play with [C] guns
Well I shot a man in Greenham just to [G] watch him die
_ _ But [D] I hear the whistle blowing, I hang my [G] head and cry _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ Well I bet their fix was eating in a fancy dining car
Probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
But I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
_ _ _ But [D] those people keep on moving and that's what [G] tortures me _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ Well if they free me from my prison and the trail of train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little further down the line
[C] But from Folsom Prison, [G] that's where I want to stay
_ Can [D] I let that lonesome whistle blow my blues [B] [G] away? _ _ _ _
