Lyrics
I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' round the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, time keeps draggin' on
But that train it 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
I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin
I hang my head and I cry
Well, I bet there's rich folks eatin' in some fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and they're smokin' big cigars
So, I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
But those people keep on moving, that's what tortures me
Well, they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was my hide
I better move it on a little bit farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I long to stay
Then I let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
Yeah
