Folsom Prison Blues lyrics
Song information
Artist: Johnny Cash Album: At Folsom Prison
Lyrics
I hear the train a comin'; it's rollin' 'round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when I'm stuck at folsom prison and time keeps draggin' on But that train keeps 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 blowin' I hang my head and cry
I bet there's rich folk people eatin' in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free But those people keep a movin', and that's what tortures me
Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move on 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
