Verse 1
D 
Well, I hear  (D major) that train a comin'
Comin' around the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when
G 
And I'm stuck  (G major) in Folsom Prison
D 
I'm bound to stay and  (D major) die
G 
A 
And when I  (G major) hear  (A major) the lonesome whistle
G 
D 
I hang my head  (G major) down  (D major) and cry
Well, now when I was a baby
My momma told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy
Don't you ever play with guns"
G 
But I shot  (G major) a man in Reno
D 
Just to watch him die  (D major) 
A 
And when I hear  (A major) the lonesome whistle
D 
I hang my head down and cry  (D major) 
Well, now if I was a railroad
If that old freight train was mine
I think I'd get it moving
Just a little down the line
G 
But I knew  (G major) I had it comin'
D 
I had to carry-  (D major) on
A 
And now I  (A major) hear the whistle blowin'
D

Down the San Ant (D major) one  (G major)

She ain't no good for you"

That's all right
A 
That's all  (A major) right now, momma
D 
Anyway that you do  (D major) 
Well, I stand at my window
I hang my head and cry
I hate to lose that woman
Hate to say good- bye

You're gonna look for me, baby
And daddy will be gone
