I hear the tra
in a comin' It
's rollin' 'ro
und the bend,
And I ain't se
en the sunshin
e, Since, I do
n'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 M
ama told me,
Son,
Always be a go
od boy, Don't
ever play with
guns,
But I shot a m
an in Reno, Ju
st to watch hi
m die,
When I hear th
at whistle blo
win', I hang m
y head and cry
.

[Verse]
I bet there's
rich folks eat
in', In a fanc
y dining car,
They're probab
ly drinkin' co
ffee, And smok
in' big cigars
,
Well I know I
had it comin',
I know I can'
t be free,
But those peop
le keep a-movi
n',And that's
what tortures
me.

[Verse]
Well, if they
freed me from
this prison, I
f that railroa
d train was mi
ne,
I bet I'd move
it all a litt
le, Farther do
wn the line,
Far from Folso
m Prison, That
's where I wan
t to stay,
And I'd let th
at lonesome wh
istle, Blow my
Blues away.
