Folsom Prison Blues [live] Lyrics
FOLSOM PRISON BLUES
(Hello! I'm Johnny Cash)
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.
Instr. (Sooie!)
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dining car,
They´re probably drinkin´ coffee
And smokin' big cigars.
Well 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...
Instr.
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.
