bobby bare - folsom prison blues lyrics

lyrics as written by johnny cash (the writer of the song):

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 in folsom prison,
and time keeps draggin’ on,
but that train keeps a-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 folks 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 it on 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.

i hear that train a comin’ rollin’ around the bend
i ain’t seen the sunshine since i don’t know when
i’m stuck in folsom prison and time keeps draggin’ on
and that train keeps a movin’ on down to san antone
when i was a baby my mama told me son
always be a good boy don’t ever play with guns
but i shot a cat in reno just to watch him die
yeah i know i had it comin’ i hang my head and cry
[ dobro – harmonica ]
i bet there’s rich folks eatin’ in a fancy dining car
prob’ly drinkin’ coffeee and smokin’ big cigars
well i’m stuck in folsom prison that’s where i’ll always be
and them people keep a movin’ and that’s what tortures me
yeah if they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine
i bet i’d move it on a little farther down the line
far from folsom prison that’s where i long to stay
yeah i’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
