Verse:
  G
I hear the train a comin', it's rolling 'round the bend
                   G7
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
 C7                      G
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
      D7                  G
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone

   G
When I was just a baby my mama told me, "Son
               G7
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
    C7                  G
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
    D7                      G
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry

Verse:
  G
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
                    G7
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
    C7                    G
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
      D7
But those people keep a-movin'
             G
And that's what tortures me

        G
Well if they freed me from this prison

If that railroad train was mine
                 G7
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
 C7                       G
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
     D7                     G
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
