I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' round the bend.
Well, I ain't seen sunshine since I don't know when,
but [A] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time [E] keeps draggin' on.
[B] But that train, it keeps a-rollin',
off down the Penn [E] & Tone.
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son,
Always be a good boy, and [Bm] don't ever play with guns.
Well, [A] I shot a man in Reno, just to watch [E] him die.
When [B] I hear that whistle blow, I hang my [E] head and cry.

[E] Well, I dipped this rich wolf's eatin' in a fancy dining car.
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' [G] big cigars.
That's [A] when I knew I had it comin', I know I can't be [E] free.
[B] But those people keep a-movin', and that's what's up [E] to me.

Well, they did free me from this prison, and that railroad train was mine.
I'd better move it on a [Bm] little further [G] down the [A] line.
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I [E] want to stay.
[B] And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my [E] blues away.
