- = Folsom Prison Blues =
-
- 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 eatin' in a fancy dining car.
- They're prob'ly 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.
