Folsom Prison Blues [live] Lyrics - 16 Biggest Hits - Johnny Cash

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 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. 

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 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'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away...
