1
I hear the train a-comin'
2
It's rolling round the bend
3
And I ain't seen the sunshine
4
Since I don't know when
5
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
6
And time keeps draggin' on
7
But that train keeps a rollin'
8
On down to San Anton
9
When I was just a baby
10
My mama told me, "Son
11
Always be a good boy
12
Don't ever play with guns"
13
But I shot a man in Reno
14
Just to watch him die
15
Now every time I hear that whistle
16
I hang my head and cry
17
I bet there's rich folks eating
18
In a fancy dining car
19
They're probably drinkin' coffee
20
And smoking big cigars
21
Well, I know I had it coming
22
I know I can't be free
23
But those people keep a-movin'
24
And that's what tortures me
25
Well, if they'd free me from this prison
26
If that railroad train was mine
27
I bet I'd move just a little further
28
Down the line
29
Far from Folsom Prison
30
That's where I want to stay
31
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
32
Blow my blues away
