. . . I hear the train a comin'

it's rollin' 'round the bend

And I ain't seen

the sunshine
But that train keeps rollin'
on down to San Antone
When I was just a baby

my mama told me Son
When I hear that

whistle blowin'

I hang my head and cry
I hang my head and cry
(11 Bar Instrumental Break)
. . . I bet there's rich folk
eatin' from a fancy

dining car

They're prob'ly
But those people

keep a movin'
and that's what

tortures me
(11 Bar Instrumental Break)
. . . 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
