Folsom Prison Blues |
| Can you hear the whistle blowing? |
| Rolling around the bend |
| 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 Antoine |
| When I was just a baby |
| My mama said |
| 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 blowin' |
| I hang my head and cry |
| Well, there are rich people in there |
| In big fancy dining car |
| Bet they’re drinkin' coffee |
| Smokin' big cigars |
| I guess I had it comin' |
| I know I can’t be free |
| That train it keeps a-rollin' |
| 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 |
| Farther down the line |
| Far from Folsom Prison |
| That’s where I long to stay |
| And I’d let that lonesome whistle |
| Blow my blues away |
| I’d let that lonesome whistle |
| Blow my blues away |
