1
I hear the train a comin' rollin' round the bend
2
I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
3
Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on
4
While a train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone
5
Well when I was just a baby my mama told me son
6
Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns
7
Well I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
8
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and I cry
9
[ guitar ]
10
Well I'll bet there's rich folks eatin' in some fancy dining car
11
Probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars
12
Well I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free
13
But those people keep a movin' that's what tortures me
14
[ guitar ]
15
Well if they freed me from this prison if that railroad train was mine
16
Bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
17
Far from Folsom Prison that's where I long to stay
18
Then I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
