Verse 1
A 
D 
I hear that train a -comin',
rollin' around the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
since I don't know when
G 
Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
D 
and time keeps draggin' on
A 
G 
But that whistle keeps on a -blowin'
D 
A 
Way on down to San Antone
D 
When I  was just a baby,
my momma told me son,
always be a good boy,
don't ever play with guns.
G 
But I shot a man in Reno,
D 
just to watch him die.
A 
When I hear that whistle blowin'
G 
D 
A 
I hang my head and cry
D 
Bet there's rich folks eatin'
their fancy dinin' car
They're prob 'ly drinkin' coffee
and smokin' big cigars
G 
Well, I know I had it comin'
D 
I know I can't be free
A 
But those people keep on movin'
G 
D 
A 
And that's what tortures me
D 
Well, if they'd free 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 foes and prison,
