Folsom Prison
(johnny cash)






I hear the train a coming
it's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
since I don't know when
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison
and time keeps draggin' on

But that train keeps rolling
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 blowing
I hang my head and cry

I bet there's rich folk eating
in a fancy dining car
They're prob'ly drinking coffee
and smokin' big cigars
But I know I had it coming
I know I can't be free
But those people keep a moving
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 on 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.
