I Fhear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
Since, I don't know when,
I'm Bbstuck in Folsom Prison,
And time keeps draggin' Fon,
But that C7train keeps a-rollin',
On down to San AnFtone.
When FI was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns,"
But I Bbshot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him Fdie,
When I C7hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and Fcry.
I Fbet there's rich folks eatin',
In a fancy dining car,
They're probably drinkin' coffee,
And smokin' big cigars,
But I Bbknow I had it comin',
I know I can't be Ffree,
But those C7people keep a-movin',
And that's what tortures Fme.
Well, Fif 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,
BbFar from Folsom Prison,
That's where I want to Fstay,
And I'd C7let that lonesome whistle,
Blow my Blues aFway.
