[Verse 1]
FI hear the train a comin', it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stBbuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' oFn
but that trC7ain keeps a rollin' on down to San AnFtone
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns
But I sBbhot a man in Reno just to watch him diFe
when I hC7ear that whistle blowing I hang my head andF cry

[Verse 2]
FI bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
they're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
Well IBb know I had it coming, I know I can't be free F
but those pC7eople keep a movin' F
and that's what tortures me...

[Verse 3]
FWell if they'd free me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move just a little further down the line A
far from Folsom prison, that's where I want tFo stay
and I'd let thatB7 lonesome whistle blow my blues away...
