Lyrics:
Well, I hear the train a comin' It's a rolling round the bend Well, I ain't seen the sunshine Since I don't know when, And I'm stuck in Folsom prison, Time keeps draggin' on But that train keeps a rollin' On down to San Antone. I was just a baby My mama told me, son, Said, 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. --- Instrumental --- Well, I bet there's rich folks eating In a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee And smoking big cigars. Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free Now, those people keep a-movin' That's what tortures me. If they'd free me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move just a little Further down the line Yeah, Far from Folsom prison, That's where I want to stay Lord I here that whistle blowing Blow my blues away. (Spoken) It's been thirty years now And I know I'll never leave This God forsaken place alive Honest to God, When I hear those words Ringin' through my head As loud as that old train whistle Crying out to me night after continuous night Sending a cold steal quiver through my voice I close my eyes and pray That that iron horse is bound for the promise land And I'll get to ride it home to glory...
