Folsom Prison Blues Songtext
von Boyd Holbrook

I hear the train a comin′
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain′t seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin′ on
But that train keeps a rollin′ on down to San Antone


When I was just a baby my mama 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 blowing, I hang my head and cry

Well if they freed me from this prison
If 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 want to stay
And I′d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
