johnny cash – folsom prison blues (live) lyrics
i hear the train a-comin’
it’s rollin’ around 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 gunsâ€
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’
from a fancy dining car
they’re probably drinking coffee
and smoking big cigars
well i know i had it coming
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
