Folsom Prison (johnny Cash) Lyrics

Folsom Prison (johnny Cash) lyrics




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 movin'
on
Down to San Antone

When I was just a baby 
my mama said
"Hey 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, if they freed me
fom this prison 
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it
all
A little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison
That's where
I want to stay
And I'd let that lonsome whistle
Blow my blues away
