Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics

	I hear the train a comin´
	it´s rolling 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 Anton..
	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 folks eating in a fancy dining car
	they´re probably drinkin´ coffee and smoking big cigars.
	Well I know I had it coming, I know I can´t be free
	but those people keep a movin´
	and that´s what tortures me...

	Well if they´d free me from this prison,
	if that railroad train was mine
	I bet I´d moved it all a little further 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.....
	I bet I´d move just a little further 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.....

	I hear the train a comin
	it s rolling 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 Anton..
	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 folks eating in a fancy dining car
	they re probably drinkin coffee and smoking big cigars.
	Well I know I had it coming, I know I can t be free
	but those people keep a movin
	and that s what tortures me...

	Well if they d free me from this prison,
	if that railroad train was mine
	I bet I d moved it all a little further 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.....
	I bet I d move just a little further 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.....

	I hear the train a comin
