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 at 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 folk eatin'

In a fancy dining car

They're prob'ly drinkin'

Coffee and smokin' big cigars

But 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

Well if they freed me from this prison

If that railroad train was mine

I bet I'd move 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
