[Intro]
A7 D
[Verse 1]
D
I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling around the bend
D7
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
G D
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on
A7 D
But that train keeps a-rolling on down to San Antone
[Verse 2]
D
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, "Son
D7
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
G D
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
A7 D
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry

[Verse 3]
D
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
D7
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
G D
Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
A7 D
But those people keep a-moving and that's what tortures me
