[C#] [F#]
I hear the train a-comin'
It's rollin' around the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't know when
[B] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps [F#] draggin' on
But that [C#] train keeps a-rollin'
On down to [F#] San Antone
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
When I hear that [C#] whistle blowin'
I hang my head and cry
[F#]
[B]
[F#]
[C#]
[F#]
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
[B] 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#] forgers need
[B]
[F#]
[C#]
[F#] 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
[B] Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I [F#] want to stay
And [A#m] I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away
[C#] [F#] [N]
