[F#]
I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' around the bend, and I ain't seen the sun shinin'.
I don't know when, I'm stuck [B] in Folsom Prison, and time keeps [F#] draggin' on.
[C#] But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to [F#] Sandan-town.
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son, always be a good boy.
Don't ever play with guns, [B] but I shot a man in Reno, just to [F#] watch him die.
[C#] When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my [F#] head and cry.

[F#] I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car.
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big [B] cigars.
But I know I had it comin', I know I [F#] can't be free.
[C#] But those people keep a -movin', I'm not what poor [F#] girls
[B] want.
[F#] [B]
[C#] [C] [C#]
[F#] Oh, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train would fight,
I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line.
[B] Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I [F#] want to stay.
[C#] And I let that lonesome whistle blow my blues [F#] away.
