Generate meaning
1
I hear that train a comin', it's rollin' round the bend
2
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
3
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on
4
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone.
5
When I was just a baby my mama told me son
6
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns
7
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
8
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.
9
--- Instrumental ---
10
I bet there's rich folks eatin' in some fancy dining car
11
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars
12
Well, I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free
13
But those people keep a movin' and that's what tortures me.
14
If they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
15
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
16
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay
17
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away...
