Well, I hear the train a-comin'
It's rollin' round the bend
And I ain't seen the sun shine since, well, I don't know when
But [G] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
Time keeps [D] draggin' on
Well, [A] that train keeps a-rollin'
[Ab] Down on the Sam [D] Henson
Well, when I was just a baby
My mama told me, son
Always be a good boy
Don't you ever play with guns
Well, [G] I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch [Dm] him die
When [A] I hear that whistle [G] blowin'
I hang my head
[D] Three [Dm]
[G]
[Dm]
[A] [G]
[Dm]
[D] spokes eatin'
It's a fancy dinin' yard
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
[G] Well, I didn't come here
I know I [D] can't be free
[A] Well, those people keep a-movin'
[G] And that's what's on [Dm] since
[A] Yeah, yeah, yeah

[E] [G] [E]
[Dm]
[G] [D] If that railroad train was mine
[G] I'd be down in Little [A] By the [G] Lane
Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I [Dm] was, say
Well, [A] I heard that old Folsom whistle
[G] Blow out my Folsom [Dm] way
It's rollin' round the bend
And I ain't seen the sun shine since, well, I don't know when
But [G] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
Time keeps [D] draggin' on
