[00:05.58] I hear the train a comin'
[00:07.22] It's rollin' 'round the bend,
[00:08.59] And I ain't seen the sunshine,
[00:12.28] Since, I don't know when,
[00:14.15] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
[00:15.65]
[00:16.33] And time keeps draggin' on,
[00:20.19] But that train keeps a-rollin',
[00:25.93] On down to San Antone.
[00:27.18]
[00:28.64] When I was just a baby,
[00:31.96] My Mama told me, "Son,
[00:34.32] Always be a good boy,
[00:36.44] Don't ever play with guns,"
[00:38.44] But I shot a man in Reno,
[00:40.50] Just to watch him die,
[00:44.76] When I hear that whistle blowin',
[00:49.75] I hang my head and cry.
[00:54.44]
[01:18.85] I bet there's rich folks eatin',
[01:20.22] In a fancy dining car,
[01:22.97] They're probably drinkin' coffee,
[01:25.09] And smokin' big cigars,
[01:27.27] But I know I had it comin',
[01:28.71] I know I can't be free,
[01:32.74]
[01:36.24] But those people keep a-movin',
[01:37.11]
[01:39.18] And that's what tortures me.
[01:41.57]
[02:07.56] Well, if they freed me from this prison,
[02:08.81] If that railroad train was mine,
[02:12.43] I bet I'd move out over a little,
[02:14.18] Farther down the line,
[02:16.68] Far from Folsom Prison,
[02:17.61] That's where I want to stay,
[02:22.48]
[02:25.29] And I'd let that lonesome whistle,
[02:26.79] Blow my Blues away.
