[Verse 1]
  
I hear the tra

in a-coming, i

t's rolling ro

und the bend
              
and I ain't se

e 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


[Verse 2]
     
When I was jus

t a baby, my M

od boy; don't 


ever play with

 guns.'

[Verse 3]
  
I bet there's 

rich folks eat

in' in a fancy

 dining car
              
They're probab

              
ly drinking co

         
ffee and smoki

ng big cigars
             
Well, I know I

              
 had it coming

              
, I know I can

      
't be free
            
But those peop

              
le keep a movi

              
ng, and that's

              
 what tortures

 
 me

Well, if they 


freed me from

Far from Folso
