[G] I hear the train a comin' it's rolling round the bend

And I ain't seen the sunshine since [G7] I don't know when

I'm [C] stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' [G] on

But that [D7] train keeps a rollin' on down to San An[G]ton

[G] When I was just a baby my mama told me son

Always be a good boy don't [G7] ever play with guns

But I [C] shot a man in Reno just to watch him [G] die

Now every [D7] time I hear that whistle

I hang my head and [G] cry

[G] I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car

They're probably drinkin' coffee and [G7] smoking big cigars

Well I [C] know I had it coming I know I can't be [G] free

But those [D7] people keep a movin'

And that's what tortures [G] me

[G] Well if they'd free me from this prison

If that railroad train was mine

I bet I'd move it all a little [G7] further down the line

[C] Far from Folsom prison that's where I want to [G] stay

And I'd [D7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a[G]way

The original recording of this song is in F.
