[F] I hear the train a-comin'
It's rollin' around thin
And I ain't seen the sunshine
I don't know when I [Bb] can pull some frizzle
And time keeps [F] draggin' on
And [C] the train keeps rollin'
On down to [F] San Antonio
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns
But [Bb] I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him [F] die
When I [C] hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head [F] and cry
[Bb]
[F] Young Nathan!
[C]
[F] I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars
Well, I [Bb] know I had it comin'
I know I can't be [F] free
But those [C] people keep a-movin'
And that's what [F] forgers be
Well, if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
Then I'd move it on a little farther down the line
[Bb] Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to [F] stay
And [C] I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues [F] away
[C] [F] [N]
It's rollin' around thin
And I ain't seen the sunshine
I don't know when I [Bb] can pull some frizzle
And time keeps [F] draggin' on
And [C] the train keeps rollin'
On down to [F] San Antonio
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns
But [Bb] I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him [F] die
