Lyrics
0:06I hear the train a coming
0:08It's rolling around the bend
0:11And I ain't seen the sunshine
0:13Since I don't know when
0:15I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
0:19And time keeps dragging on
0:25But that train keeps a rolling
0:28On down to San Antone
0:32When I was just a baby
0:35My Mama told me Son
0:37Always be a good boy
0:39Don't ever play with guns
0:42But I shot a man in Reno
0:45Just to watch him die
0:51When I hear that whistle blowing
0:54I hang my head and cry
1:24I bet there's rich folks eating
1:26In a fancy dining car
1:29They're probably drinking coffee
1:31And smoking big cigars
1:34But I know I had it coming
1:37I know I can't be free
1:43But those people keep a moving
1:46And that's what tortures me
2:16Well if they freed me from this prison
2:18If that railroad train was mine
2:20I bet I'd move out over a little
2:23Farther down the line
2:25Far from Folsom Prison
2:28That's where I want to stay
2:34And I'd let that lonesome whistle
2:37Blow my blues away
I hear the train a coming It's rolling around the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine Since I don't know when I'm stuck in Folsom Prison And time keeps dragging on But that train keeps a rolling 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 blowing I hang my head and cry I bet there's rich folks eating In a fancy dining car They're probably drinking coffee And smoking big cigars But I know I had it coming I know I can't be free But those people keep a moving 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 out over 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
