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 dragging on
4
But that freight train keeps a rolling on down to San Antone
5
Well when I was just a baby my mama told me son
6
Bocephus be a good boy don't ever play with guns
7
But I killed a man in Shreveport just to watch him die
8
When I hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and I cry
9
I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
10
They're prob'ly drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
11
But I know I had it coming I know I can't be free
12
But those people keep a moving and that's what tortures me
13
[ guitar ]
14
Well 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 wanna stay
17
Then Lord I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
18
Oh Lord I'd let that lonesome whistle blow all my blues away
