Johnny Cash – Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics  Share

From Johnny Cash's album: At Folsom Prison

I hear the train a comin^,
it^,s rolling 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 Anton..
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
now every time I hear that whistle I hang my head and cry..

I bet there^,s rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
they^,re probably drinkin^, coffee and smoking big cigars.
[ Folsom Prison Blues lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/j/johnny-cash/folsom-prison-blues/ ]
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^,d free me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I^,d move just a little further 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.....
