| 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, Lord just to watch him die
|
| Now I’m in the Folsom Prison, I’m starin at the sky
|
| I hear the train a comin, it’s rollin round the bend
|
| And I ain’t seen the sunshine woman, since I don’t know when
|
| I’m stuck in Folsom prison, the time keeps draggin on
|
| And those wheels keep rollin on down to San Antone
|
| If they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine
|
| You can bet I’d move it on a little farther down the line
|
| Far from Folsom Prison, that’s where I long to be
|
| And those wheels keep rollin, Lord they would not torture me
|
| I know there’s rich folks out there in those fancy dining cars
|
| I know they’re drinkin coffee lord, smokin big cigars
|
| But I know I had it comin, I know I can’t be free
|
| But those wheels keep rollin, Lord that’s what tortures me
|
| If they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine
|
| You can bet I’d move it on a little farther down the line
|
| Far from Folsom Prison, that’s where I long to be
|
| And those wheels keep rollin, Lord theyw ould not torture me
|
| I hear the train a-comin, it’s rollin round the bend
|
| And I ain’t seen the sunshine woman since I don’t know when
|
| Well I’m stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin on
|
| And those wheels keep rollin on down to San Antone
|
| I hear the train a-comin, it’s rollin round the bend
|
| And I ain’t seen the sunshine woman since I don’t know when
|
| Well I’m stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin on
|
| And those wheels keep rollin on down to San Antone
|
| I don’t care if I do die, do die, do die, do die, do die |
