Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics - Tip On In - Slim Harpo

I hear the train a comin', rollin' 'round the bend 

And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when 

Stuck at Folsom Prison, time keep draggin' on 

And the train keep a rollin' on down to San Antone 

 

When I was a baby, my mama told me 

"Son, always be a good boy and don't ever play with gun" 

But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die 

When I hear the train a comin' I hang my head and cry 

 

I bet there's rich folk eatin' in that fancy dining car 

They're probably drinkin' whiskey and smokin' big cigars 

I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free 

But those people keep on movin' and that's what tortures me 

 

Well, if they free me from this prison and the railroad train is mine 

I'd move it on little farther down the line 

Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I gonna stay 

And I'd let that lonesome whistle, oh, blow, blow my blues away
