I hear the train a comin',
it's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
F7
since, I don't know when,
Bb
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
F
and time keeps draggin' on,
C7
But that train keeps a-rollin',
F
on down to San Antone.

When I was just a baby,
my Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
F7
don't ever play with guns,"
Bb
But I shot a man in Reno,
F
just to watch him die,
C7
When I hear that whistle blowin',
F
I hang my head and cry.

I bet there's rich folks
eatin' in a fancy dining car,
They're probably drinkin' coffee,
G7
and smokin' big cigars,
C
But I know I had it comin',
G
I know I can't be free,
D7
But those people keep a-movin',
G
and that's what tortures me.
G
Well, if they freed me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little
G7
further down the line,
C
Far from Folsom Prison,
G
that's where I want to stay,
D7
And I'd let that lonesome whistle,
G G
blow my Blues away. //////

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

I keep my eyes wide open all the time

Because you're mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true

I find myself alone when day is through

Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you

Because you're mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light

I keep you on my mind both day and night

And happiness I've known proves that it's right

You give me cause for love that I can't hide
