I hear that train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend
An' I ain't seen the sunshine
Since God knows when
Well, I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
An' 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 you 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
Well, I bet there's rich folk eatin'
In a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
An' smokin' big cigars
But I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
An' that's what tortures me
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
ย
Then I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away
