Verse 1
D 
I hear that train a -comin',
rollin' around the bend
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 
And that train keeps a -movin' on
D 
down to San Antone
When I was a baby, my mama told me,
Always be a good boy,
G 
don't ever play with
D 
A 
Yeah, I know I had it comin',
D 
G 
I hang my head and cry
D 
A 
D 
I bet there's Rick's folks eatin'
in a fancy -dinin' car
Probably drinkin' coffee and
smokin' big cigars
G 
Well, I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
D 
that's where I'll always be
A 
And them people keep a -movin',
D 
and that's what tortures me
If they freed me from this prison
and that railroad train was mine
I'd bet I'd move it on
a little further down the line
G 
And if I've been forced to prison,
D 
that's where I long to stay
A 
Yeah, I'd let that lonesome whistle
D 
G 
blow my blues away
D 
A
