^DI hear the train a comin', It's rollin' 'round the bend ^DAnd I ain't seen the sunshine, Since, I don't know ^D7when ^GI'm stuck in Folsom Prison And time keeps draggin'^D on ^A7But that train keeps a-rollin', On down to San An^Dtone

[Verse 2]

^DWhen I was just a baby. My Mama told me, son ^DAlways be a good boy. Don't ever play with ^D7guns ^GBut I shot a man in Reno. Just to watch him ^Ddie ^A7When I hear that whistle blowin'. I hang my head and c^Dry

[Verse 3]

^DI bet there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car ^DThey're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big ci^D7gars ^GBut I know I had it comin', I know I can't be fr^Dee ^A7But those people keep a-movin', And that's what tort^Dures me

[Chorus]

^DWell, if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine ^DI bet I'd move out over a little, Farther down the l^D7ine ^GFar from Folsom Prison, That's where I want to s^Dtay ^A7And I'd let that lonesome whistle, Blow my blues aw^Day

[Outro verse]

^A7Blow...my blues a^Dway
