1
Well I hear that train a-coming
2
Its rollin' 'round the bend
3
I ain't seen the sunshine since, I don't know when
4
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, time keeps dragging on
5
But that train just keeps on rollin', on down to San Anton'
6
When I was just a baby, mama told me son
7
She said always be a good boy, don't you ever play with guns
8
But I shoot a man in Reno, just to what he die
9
When I hear that lonesome whistle blow, I hang my head down and cry
10
Well I bet there's rich folk eating in some fancy dining car
11
Probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
12
Well I know, I had it coming, I know I can't be free
13
But that train just keeps on rollin', that's what tortures me
14
Keep on rollin'...
15
Well if they freed me from that prison and that railroad train was mine
16
I bet I move it on, just a little farther down that line
17
Far from Folson Prison, is where I want to stay
18
Well I let that lonesome whistle blow, blow my blues away
19
Well I let that lonesome whistle blow, just blow my blues away
