Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

The last time I thought about leavin' 

Was the last time I made her cry 

I talked myself out of believin' 

That true, true love never dies 

The first time I thought of returnin' 

Was just ten lonesome miles out of town 

But my foolish pride kept these wheels a-turnin' 

Yeah, there was nothin' on this earth gonna shut me down 

But if I had one drop of water 

For each and every tear that I have cried 

I'd sail back to her on an ocean of sorrow 

True, true love never dies 

Well, the fires of anger turn to ashes 

Your pride will forsake you by and by 

The lonesome is not surely passin' 

That ol' true, true love never dies 

But if I had one drop of water 

For each and every tear that I have cried 

I'd sail back to her on an ocean of sorrow 

True, true love never dies 

No, it never does 

Well, if I had one drop of water 

For each and every tear that I have cried 

Well, I'd sail back to her on an ocean of sorrow 

True, true love never dies 

Well, I'd sail back to her on an ocean of sorrow 

True, true love never dies 

It never dies 

It never does 

No, No, No 

True true love 

True true love 

True true love
