merle haggard – folsom prison blues lyrics
i hear that train a comin’, it’s comin’ ’round the bend
i ain’t seen the sunshine since i don’t know when
i’m locked in folsom prison and time keeps draggin’ on
and i hear that train 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 lonesome whistle i hang my head and i cry
i bet there’s rich folks eatin’ in 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 i hear that train a-rollin’ and that’s what tortures me
well, if they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine
i bet i’d move it over a little farther down the line
far from folsom prison that’s where i long to be
and let that train keep rollin’ and roll my blues away
