Everlast – Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics  Share

From Everlast's album: Love, War And The Ghost Of Whitey Ford

(by Johnny Cash)

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.

[ Folsom Prison Blues lyrics from

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
