Johnny Cash: |
FOLSOM PRISON BLUES |
1. |
I hear the train a comin’ it’s rollin’ ‘round the bent And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when I’m stuck at Folsom prison and time keeps drogin’ on But that train keeps rollin’ on down to San Antone |
2. |
When I was just a baby my mama told me son Always be a good boy don’t ever play with gun But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die When I hear that whistle blows I hang my head and cry |
3. |
I bet there’s rich folks eatin’ from a fancy dinning car They’re prob’ly drinkin’ coffee and smoking big cigars Well I know I had it comin’ I know I can’t be free But those people keep a movin’ and that’s what torlures me |
4. |
Well if they freed me from this prison if this railroad train was mine I bet I’d movin’ over 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 |
