I hear the train a coming, it's rolling round the bend, and I ain't seen the sunshine since,
I don't know when, [Ab] [A] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps [E] dragging on, and the [B] train
keeps a rolling on down the sand.
When I was just a 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 him [E] die, [Bb] when [B] I hear the whistle blowing,
I hang my head [E] and cry.

And, I bet it's rich folks sitting in the fancy dining cart, they're probably drinking
coffee and smoking big cigars, but I know I have it coming, I know I can't be free,
[Gb]
[E] but [B] those people keep a moving, and that's what [E] tortures me.
Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine, I'd better move
it on a little farther down the line, far from Folsom Prison, that's [A] where I want [E] to
stay,
[Bb] [B] and I'll let a lonesome whistle blow my [E] blues away.
