1. I heGar the train a comin' it's rollin' 'round the bent
and I ain't seen the sunshine since G7I don't know when
I'm stCuck at Folsom prison and time keeps drogin' Gon
but that trDain keeps rollin' on down to San AntonGe.
2. When GI was just a baby my mama told me son
always be a good boy don't ever G7play with gun
but I Cshot a man in Reno just to watch him die G
when I Dhear that whistle blows I hang my head and Gcry.
3. I bet Gthere's rich folks eatin' from a fancy dinning car
they're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and G7smoking big cigars
well CI know I had it comin' I know I can't be Gfree
but thoDse people keep a movin' and that's what G
tortures me.
4. Well Gif they freed me from this prison if this
railroad train was mine
I bet I'd movin' over a little farther G7down the line
Cfar from Folsom prison that's where I Gwant to stay
and I'd Dlet that lonesome whistle blow my blues Gaway.
