Ferlin Husky "Folsom Prison Blues" |
(Johnny Cash) I hear the train a comin', it's comin' round the bend I ain't seen the sunshine, since I don't know when I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on And a 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 I cry. --- Instrumental --- I bet there's rich folks eatin' in some fancy dining car 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 on movin', that's what tortures me. If they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it over a little farther down the line Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I wanna stay And I'd let that lonesome whistle, blow my blues away...
