Folsom Prison Blues Songtext

Folsom Prison Blues Songtext
I hear that train a comin′ it's comin′ around the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I′m locked in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin′ on
And I hear that train 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 lonesome whistle I hang my head and I cry.
I bet there's rich folks eatin′ in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
Well I know I had it comin′ I know I can't be free
But I hear that train a rollin' that′s what tortures me.
If they freed me from this prison if that railroad train was mine
I bet I′d move it over a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison that's where I long to be
And let that train keep a rollin′ and roll my blues away...
I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I′m locked in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin′ on
And I hear that train 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 lonesome whistle I hang my head and I cry.
I bet there's rich folks eatin′ in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
Well I know I had it comin′ I know I can't be free
But I hear that train a rollin' that′s what tortures me.
If they freed me from this prison if that railroad train was mine
I bet I′d move it over a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison that's where I long to be
And let that train keep a rollin′ and roll my blues away...
