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.
                                          
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
                                                   
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..

I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
                                                  
They're probably drinkin' whiskey and smoking big cigars.
                                              
Well 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...

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 the line
                                              
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
                                              
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
