[Verse 1]
I hear a train a-comin', it’s rollin' around 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 keep a-rollin' on down to San Antone
[Verse 2]
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 blowin', I hang my head and cry
[Verse 3]
I'll bet there's rich folks eatin’ in fancy dining cars
They’re probably drinkin' coffee and smokin’ big cigars
But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free
But those people keep on movin' and that’s what tortures me
[Verse 4]
Well, if they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little further down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's whеre I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesomе whistle blow my blues away
I hear a train a-comin', it’s rollin' around 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 keep a-rollin' on down to San Antone
[Verse 2]
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 blowin', I hang my head and cry
[Verse 3]
I'll bet there's rich folks eatin’ in fancy dining cars
They’re probably drinkin' coffee and smokin’ big cigars
But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free
But those people keep on movin' and that’s what tortures me
[Verse 4]

I bet I'd move it on a little further down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's whеre I want to stay
