= 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.
