[F#]
I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' around the bend, and I ain't seen the sun shinin'.
I don't know when, [B] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps [F#] draggin' on, [C#] but that train
keeps a-rollin' on down to San [F#] Antonio.
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son, always be a good boy, don't ever play with
guns, [B] but I shot a man in Reno, just to watch [F#] him die.
[C#] When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head [F#] and cry.
[B]
[F#] [F#] [B]
[C#]
[F#] I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car, they're probably drinkin' coffee
and smokin' big cigars, [B] but I know I had it comin', I know I can [F#] be free.
[C#] But those people keep a-movin', and that's what [F#] tortures me.

[F#] Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train would fight, I bet I'd
move it all a little farther down the line, [B] far from Folsom Prison, that's where I [F#] want to stay.
[C#] And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues [F#] away.
