Verse 1
D 
A 
D 
I
hear the train a- comin'
It's rollin' '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
D 
Just to watch him die
A 
When I hear that whistle blowin'
D 
I hang my head and cry

Verse 3
D 
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dinin' car
They're probably 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 a- movin'
D 
And that's what tortures me

Interlude 2

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
