Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics - Country Charley Pride/pride Of Country Music - Charley Pride

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
