G#
I hear the train a comin', it's rolling round the bend
G# G#7
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
C# G#
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
D#7 G#
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone..
G#
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
G# G#7
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
C# G#
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
D#7 G#
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..

G#
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
G# G#7
They're probably drinkin' whiskey and smoking big cigars.
C# G#
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
D#7 G#
But those people keep a movin' and that's what tortures me...

G#
Well if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine
G# G#7
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
C# G#
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
D#7 G#
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
