flatt and scruggs - folsom prison blues lyrics

(h-llo i’m lester flatt and i’m earl scruggs)
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
[ ac.guitar – banjo ]
i bet there’s rich folks eatin’ from a fancy dining car
they’re probably drinkin’ coffee and smokin’ big cigars
well i know i had it comin’ i know i can’t be free
but those people keep on movin’ and that’s what tortures me
[ ac.guitar – dobro ]
well if they freed me from this prison if this 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
