Verse 1
D 
I hear a train a -comin',
it's rollin' round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since,
I don't know when
G 
Stuck in Folsom Prison,
D 
and time keeps draggin' on
A 
But the train keeps a -rollin'
D 
On down to St. Anthony

D 
When I was just a baby
My mama told me,
Always be a good boy,
don't ever play with guns
G 
But I sought a man in Reno
D 
Just to watch him die
A 
When I hear that whistle blow away
D

Then I might have cried
G 
D 
I bet there's rich bogeymen
and some fancy dining car
I bet there's drinking coffee
and smoking big cigars
G 
And I know I had it coming
D 
Dm 
I know I can't be free
D 
A 
But those people keep moving
And that's what torture's

D 
They freed me from this prison
That railroad train was mine
I bet I'm moving on
A little farther down that line
G 
Fallen falls of prison
D 
That's where I long to stay
A 
Can I let that lonesome whistle blow
