[E]
[B] I hear the train a-comin'
It's rollin' around the bend
[E] And I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom [A] Prison
And time keeps [E] draggin' on
[B] [E]
But the [B] train keeps rollin'
On down the [E] Salmon Boat
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns
[A] Well, I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch [E] him die
When [B] I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my [E] head and cry
I hear the
[A]
[E] train a -comin'
[B] It's [E] rollin' around the bend
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dinin' bar
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
Well, I [A] know I had it comin'
I know I can't be [E] free
But [B] those people keep a-movin'
And that's what [Em] torture's free
[E]
[A]
[E] [B] Yeah
[E] Well, if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
Bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
[A] Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want [E] to stay
[B] And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my [E] blues away
[B] [E]
[N]
