Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics

Send "Folsom Prison Blues" ringtone to your cell

I hear the train a comin' it's rollin' round the bend

And 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 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 blowin' i hang my head and cry

[ guitar ]

I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car

They're prob'ly drinking coffee and smoking big cigars

But i know i had it comin' i know i can't be free

But those people keep a movin' and that's what tortures me

But if they freed me from this prison if that railroad train was mine

I bet i'd move it on a little farther down the line

Far from folsom prison that's where i want to stay

And i'll let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
