Folsom Prison Blues Songtext
von The Charlie Daniels Band

I hear the train a comin′ rollin' round the bend
I ain′t seen the sunshine since I don't know when
Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on
While a train keeps a rollin′ on down to San Antone Well when I was just a baby my mama told me son
Always be a good boy don′t ever play with guns
Well I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and I cry


Well I′ll bet there's rich folks eatin′ in some fancy dining car
Probably drinkin' coffee and smokin′ big cigars
Well I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin′ that′s what tortures me

Well if they freed me from this prison if that railroad train was mine
Bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison that′s where I long to stay
Then I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
