Waylon Jennings - Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics
(Johnny Cash)I hear the train a comin'It's rollin' round the bendI ain't seen the sunshineSince I don't know when.Well, I'm stuck in Folsom PrisonAnd time keeps draggin' onBut I see a train a movin'On down to San AntoneBet there's rich folks eatin'In some fancy dining carProbably drinkin' coffeeAnd smokin' big cigars.Well, I know I had it comin'I know I can't be freeBut them people keep on movin'And that's what tortures me.--- Instrumental ---When I was just a babyMy mama told me sonAlways be a good boyDon't ever play with guns.But I shot a man in RenoJust to watch him dieEvery time I hear that whistleI hang my head and I cry.If they freed me from this prisonIf that railroad train was mineBet I'd move it on aLittle bit farther down the line.Far from Folsom PrisonThat's where I long to stayAnd I'd let that lonesome whistleBlow my blues away...
