Tom: E
[Intro] E
E
I hear the train a commin, it's rollin around the bend,
And i ain't seen the sunshine since i don't know when,
A E
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin on,
B7 E
But that train keeps a rollin on down to San Antone.
E
When i was just a baby, my mama told me son, always
A
Be a good boy, don't ever play with guns, but i shot
E B7
A man in Reno, just to watch him die, when i hear that
E
Whistle blowin i hang my head and cry.
( E A E B7 E )
E
I bet there's rich folks eaten, in a fancy dinin car,
There probly drinkin coffee, and smokin big sigars,
A E
But i know i had it comin, i know i can't be free,
B7
But those people keep a movin, and that's what
E
Tortures me.
E
Well if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad
Was mine, i bet i'd move it all a little farther down
A
The line, far from folsom prison, that's where i want to
E B7
Stay, and i'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues
E
Away
