Folsom Prison Blues
I hear the train a comin'It's rolling round the bendAnd I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' onBut that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Anton..When I was just a baby my mama told me, sonAlways be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him dieWhen I hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and cry..I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining carThey're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be freeBut those people keep a movin'And that's what tortures me...Well if they'd free me from this prison,If that railroad train was mineI bet I'd move it all a little further down the lineFar from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stayAnd I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
