Verse 1
C 
F 
I hear the train a -comin',
it's rollin' around the bend
E 
And I ain't seen the sunshine since,
F 
I don't know when I'm
Bb 
A 
stuck in Folsom prison
E 
F 
and time keeps dragging on
C 
But that train keeps rollin' on
E 
down to San Anton
F 
When I was just a baby
my mama told me son
Always be a good boy.
C 
F 
C 
Don't ever play with guns,
F 
Bb 
A 
but I shot a man in Reno
E 
F 
Just to watch him die
C 
When I hear that whistle blowin'
F 
Bb 
I hang my head and cry
F 
C 
F 
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
in a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
and smokin' big cigars
Bb 
Well, I know I   had it comin'
F 
I know I can't be free
C 
But those people keep a -movin'
And that's what tortures
F 
Bb 
F 
mean
C 
F 
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,
Bb 
far from Folsom Prison,
E 
F 
that's where I want to stay.
C 
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
C 
F 
Blow my blues away
C 
F
