[Chorus]
Yeah come on
I hear the train a comin', it's rolling 'round 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 keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone

[Verse 1]
When I was just a baby my mama told me
Son always be a good boy, don't ever play with gun
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
(so I watch him die)
When I hear that lonesome whistle, I hang my head and cry
(hang down your head Antonio)

[Verse 2]
There's probably rich folks eating from a big, old dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
But I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
(No I can’t be free)
But damn people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures me

Yeah

[Chorus]
Well if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet that I’d move [?] a little fellow down the line
Yeah Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
(I would want to stay)
And then I'd let that lonesome whistle baby blow my blues away
(blow my blues away)
[Outro]
Ooh ohh
Get on it yeah
Sir
Yeah
Ooh
Blow my blues away
Blow my blues away
Blow my blues away
Blow my blues away
