practice required.  Tabbed by Vincent Astolfi





I hear the tra

in a comin' 

It's rollin' 'round the bend 

And I ain't seen the sunshine 
         
Since, I don't

 know when 

I'm stuck in F

olsom Prison 
              
And time keeps

          
 draggin' on 
         
But that train

 keeps a-rolli

n' 

		    

On down to San Antone 



When I was jus

t a baby 

My Mama told me, "Son 

Always be a good boy 
       
Don't ever pla

y with guns" 

But I shot a man in Reno 
              
Just to watch 

     
him die 
        
When I hear th

at whistle blo

win' 
             
I hang my head

      
 and cry 





I bet there's 

rich folks eat

in' 

In a fancy dining car 

They're probably drinkin' coffee 
     
And smokin' bi

g cigars 

But I know I had it comin' 
		   
I know I can't

 be free 
            
But those peop

le keep a-movi

n' 
              
And that's wha

          
t 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 t

he line 

Far from Folsom Prison 
              
That's where I

          
 want to stay 
	 
And I'd let th

at lonesome wh

istle 
	          
Blow all my bl

ues away
