I hear that train a-com-in' 

 10  10  10     -10  11   10

It's rol-lin' 'round the bend,

I'm stuck in Fol-som Pri-son,

But that train keeps a-rol-lin',

On down to San An-  tone. 

When I was just a baby, 
My Mama told me, "Son, 
Always be a good boy, 
Don't ever play with guns," 
But I shot a man in Reno, 
Just to watch him die, 
When I hear that whistle blowin', 
I hang my head and cry. 

I bet there's rich folks eatin', 
In a fancy dining car, 
They're probably drinkin' coffee, 
And smokin' big cigars, 
But I know I had it comin', 
I know I can't be free, 
But those people keep a-movin', 
And that's what tortures me. 

Well, if they freed me from this prison, 
If that railroad train was mine, 
I bet I'd move out over a little, 
Farther down the line, 
Far from Folsom Prison, 
That's where I want to stay, 
And I'd let that lonesome whistle, 
Blow my Blues away.
