I hear the train a-comin’; it’s rollin’ ’round the bend And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when I’m stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin’ on. But that train keeps a-rollin’ on down to San Antone. 2. When I was just a baby my momma 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 folk eatin’in a fancy dining car. They’re prob’ly drinkin’ coffee 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 all 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.

I’d like to see tab/chords for any of his other songs particularly "Ring of Fire." All mistakes are mine alone ...
