I hear that train a-comin' it's rollin' 'round the bend 
          
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when 
    A                                     E 
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on 
         B7                                      E 
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down the San Antone 
 
When I was just a baby my mama told me son 
Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns 
But I shot a man in reno just to watch him die 
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dinin' car 
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars 
Well I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free 
But those people keep a-movin' and that's what tortures me 
 
SOLO 
 
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 
Far from Folsom Prison that's where I want to stay 
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
