brandi carlile - folsom prison blues 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 in folsom prison
and time keeps draggin’ on
o but i hear that whistle blowin’
back home from 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 out 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
