[Intro] B7 E
[Primeira Parte]
E
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
A
I'm stuck at Eolsom Prison
E
And time keeps draggin' on
B7
But that train keeps a rollin'
E
On down to San Antone
[Segunda Parte]
E
When I was just a baby
My mama told me "Son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns"
A
But I shot a man in Reno
E
Just to watch him die
B7
When I hear that whistle blowin'
E
I hang my head and cry
( E A E B7 E )
[Terceira Parte]
E
I bet there's rich folk eatin'
In a fancy dining car
They're prob'ly drinkin'
Coffee and smokin' big cigars
A
But I know I had it comin'
E
I know I can't be free
B7
But those people keep a movin'
E
And that's what tortures me
E
Well if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move on a little
Farther down the line
A
Far from Eolsom Prison
E
That's where I want to stay
B7
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
E
Blow my blues away
( B7 E )
