Version 2 of the lyrics

1  I hear the train a comin', it's rollin' 'round the bend   I hear the train a-comin',                                            1
2  And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when   It's rollin' round       the bend.                              2
3  I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on   And I ain't seen the sunshine,                            3
4  But that train keeps rollin' on down to San Antone   Since I don't know when.                            4
5                                     I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, 5
6  When I was just a baby, my mama told me,   And time keeps draggin' on.                             6
7  "Son, always be        a good boy, don't ever play with guns"   But that train keeps a rollin',                                       7
8  But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die   On down                                to San Anton'.      8
1  When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry   1
9                                  When I was just a baby, 9
10  I bet there's rich folk eatin' in a fancy dining car   My mama told me, "Son,                                    10
11  They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars   Always be a good boy,                       11
12  Well, I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free   Don't ever play with guns."                                           12
13  But those people keep a movin', and that's what tortures me   But I shot       a man in Reno,                     13
14                                Just to watch him die. 14
15  Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine   When I hear                                     that whistle blowin',            15
16  Bet I'd move on over a little farther down the line   I hang my head and cry.                                   16
2  Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay   2
  And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away   [Instrumental break.]
