iris dement - folsom prison blues lyrics
oh, i hear that train a-coming, coming on ’round 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
but that train keeps a-rolling on down to san an-tone
well, when i was just a baby, my mama told me, “hon,
always be a good girl, don’t ever mess 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
well, i bet there’s rich folk eating in a fancy dining car
they’re probably drinking coffee and smoking fat cigars
but i know i had it coming, i know i can’t be free
but them people keep a-moving and that’s what tortures me
well, if they freed me from this prison, if this railroad car was mine
i know i’d move it on just a little farther down the line
so far from folsom prison, that’s where i want to stay
and i’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
