1. I hear the train a-comin'. It's rollin' 'round the bend and I ain't seen the sun shine since I don't know when.

I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on but that train keeps rollin' on down to San Antone.
2. When I was just a baby my mamma 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.

3. I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car. They're prob'ly drinkin' coffe and smokin' big cigars
but I know I had it comin. I know I can't be free, but those people keep-a-movin' and that's what tortures me.
4. Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine, I bet I'd move it over a little further 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.
