Folsom Prison Blues Songtext
von Bobby Bare

Folsom Prison Blues Songtext

I hear that train comin′
Rollin' around the bend
I ain′t seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin′ on
And that train keeps movin′
On down to San Anton'


When I was a baby
My mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy
Don′t ever play with guns"
But I shot a cat in Reno
Just to watch him die
Yeah, I know I had it comin'
I hang my head and cry

I bet there′s rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dining car
Probably drinkin′ coffee
And smokin' big cigars
While I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
That′s where I′ll always be
And 'em people keep on movin′
And that's what tortures me


Yeah, if they freed me from this prison
And that railroad train was mine
I bet I′d move it on a little
Farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I long to stay
Yeah, I′d let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away
