Artist/Band: Porter Wagoner
Lyrics for Song: Folsom Prison Blues
Lyrics for Album: The Cold Hard Facts of Life/Soul of a Convict [2008]



(Johnny Cash)



I hear the train a comin' it's rollin' 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 dragging 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

When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and I cry.



I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car

They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars

But I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free

But them people keep a movin' 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

And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away...
