It's San Quentin, and Folsom, and a lot of other places.
And maybe this song will ring true to some of y'all.
[B] [E]
Mm.
Well, I hear the train comin'.
It's a-rollin' around the bend.
I ain't seen sunshine since I don't know when.
[E] But I'm stuck in Folsom bridge.
Time keeps dragging on, [B] and that train keeps a-moving on down the [E] sad and drum.
When I was just a baby, my mom told me, son, always be a good [Em] boy, don't ever play with a gun.
[E] I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
When [B] I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my [E] head in the ground.
Don't play like a record now,

Well, I bet there's a rich folks sittin' in them fancy diner cars, and they're probably drinkin' coffee and [F#] smokin' big cigars.
[A] I knew I had it comin', I knew I can't [E] be beat.
When [Bm] I hear that whistle blowin', well, that's what I'm supposed [E] to do.
Well, I can't expect a marine to come in prison, if that railroad train was mine.
Oh, don't you know I can move it on just a little farther down the line.
[A] Far from Port-au-Prince, I'd like to wear that long [E]-sleeved shirt.
Well, [B] I'd like that long-sleeved whistle.
Love, [F#] I love you!
