I hear the train a-comin'
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
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns"
So I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and cry
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smoking big cigars
But 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
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Well, if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on
A little further down the line
Far from Folsom prison
That's where I want to stay, yeah
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
