I hear the train a-comin'
I hear the train a-comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend
It's rollin' 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since, I don't know when
Since, I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
And time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a-rollin'
But that train keeps a-rollin'
On down to San Antone
On down to San Antone
When I was just a baby
When I was just a baby
My Mama told me, 'son
My Mama told me, 'they are
Always be a good boy
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns'
Don't ever play with guns'
But I shot a man in Reno
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
Just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin'
When I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and cry
I hang my head and cry
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dinin' car
In a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
And smokin' big cigars
Well, I know I had it comin'
Well, I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
I know I can't be free
But those people keep a-movin'
But those people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures me
And that's what tortures me
Well, if they freed me from this prison
Well, if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little
I bet I'd move it on a little
Farther down the line
Farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison
Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to stay
That's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
And I'd let that lonely whistle
Blow my blues away
Blow my blues away
