Verse 1
D 
A 
D 
I
hear the train a- comin',
it's rolling 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
since I don't know when
G 
I'm stuck in Folsom prison,
D 
and time keeps draggin' on
A 
But that train keeps a- rollin'
D 
on down to San Antone

Verse 2
D 
When I was just a baby, my
mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy,
don't ever play with guns"
G 
But I shot a man in Reno just
D 
to watch him die
A 
When I hear that whistle blowin',
D 
G 
I hang my head and cry
D 
Suey...

Verse 3
D 
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
and smoking big cigars
G 
Well, I know I had it coming,
D 
I know I can't be free
A 
But those people keep a- movin',
D 
and that's what tortures me

Interlude 1

Verse 4
D 
Well, if they freed me from this prison,
if that railroad
Train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little
farther down the line
G 
Far from Folsom prison,
D 
that's where I want to stay
A 
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
D 
blow my blues away
A 
D
