| I hear the train a-comin' | |
| It's rollin' around 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 | |
| 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' | |
| From 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-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 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 |
| I hear the train acomin' | |
| It' s rollin' around 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 arollin' | |
| On down to San Antone | |
| 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' | |
| From 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 amovin' | |
| 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 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 | |
