I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone
When I was just a baby my mama told me "Son always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns."
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die (then I was)
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry
ย
Suey
Yea ho
ย
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
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me (say it again)
ย
Yea ho
Oooh ho...
Up well
Oooh ho...
Well if they freed me from this prison
If 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 want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
