[Verse]
   
I hear the tra

in a comin', i

t's rolling 'r

ound the bend
              
And I ain't se

              
en the sunshin

          
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

     
When I was jus

t a baby my ma

ma told me, "S

on
              
Always be a go

              
od boy, don't 

 
ever play with

 guns"
            
But I shot a m

              
an in Reno jus

              
t to watch him

  
 die
            
When I hear th

              
at whistle blo

              
wing, I hang m

            
y head and cry

[Verse]
   
I bet there's 

rich folks eat

ing in a fancy

 dining car
              
They're probab

              
ly drinkin' 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

n'
              
And that's wha

           
t tortures me

              
Well if they f

 
reed me from t

his prison

If that railroad train was mine
              
I bet I'd move

              
 it on a littl

     
e farther down

 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
