Lyrics
Well I hear that train a coming
Rolling 'round the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when
'Cause I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
Time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin'
On down to San Antone
When I was just a baby
Mama told me "Son
Always be a good boy
Don't never play with guns"
They said I shot a man down in Reno
But that was just a lie
When I hear the whistle blowing
I just hang my head and cry
Listen to the guitar go
I bet there's rich folks eating
In a fancy car
They probably drinkin' coffee
Smoking big cigars
But I didn't hurt nobody
I should be rolling free, free
But those people keep on moving
That's what torture me
Well if they free me from this prison
The railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on
Just 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
