I hear that train comin'
Rollin' around the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
ย
And that train keeps movin'
On down to San Anton'
ย
When I was a baby
My mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a cat in Reno
Just to watch him die
ย
Yeah, I know I had it comin'
I hang my head and cry
ย
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dining car
Probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
While I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
That's where I'll always be
ย
And 'em people keep on movin'
And that's what tortures me
Yeah, if they freed me from this prison
And that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little
Farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I long to stay
ย
Yeah, I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away
