Verse 1
I hear the train a-coming, it's
rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine
since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and
time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a-rollin'
on down to San Antone
Verse 2
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

Verse 3
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinking coffee
and smoking big cigars
Well, I know I had it coming, I
know I can't be free
But those people keep a moving,
and that's what tortures me

Verse 4
Well, if they freed me from this
prison, if that railroad train
was mine
I bet I'd move it on 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
