Folsom Prison Blues |
I hear that train a comin', rollin' around the bend |
I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when |
I’m stuck in Folsom prison, time keeps draggin' by |
But when I hear that train a movin' |
God, I hang, I hang, I hang my head and cry |
You know, I bet there’s rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car |
They’re drinking Jack Daniels whiskey, smoking big caboose cigars |
Stuck in Folsom prison, time keeps draggin' on |
Every time I think of them women |
God, I think of good ol' San Antone, yeah |
Well, now when I was just a baby, baby, my mama told me |
Son, you oughta be a good boy, Jerry, don’t ever play with guns |
Shot a boy in Memphis, I didn’t mean just to watch him die |
Oh, when I think of good ol' Memphis, Tennessee |
I hang my head and I cry |
Now if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine |
I’d move it on just a little further down the line |
Far from Folsom prison, that’s where ol' killer needs to be |
'Cos them women keep on movin' |
And Lord, Lord, and that’s what tortures Jerry Lee |
My God, they ain’t gonna free me from this prison |
And that railroad train ain’t mine |
I know they’re never gonna let ol' Jerry get no further down the line |
Far from Folsom prison, that’s where I ain’t gonna be |
Woo, them women keep on movin' |
My God, that tortures rockin' Jerry Lee |
