Artist/Band: Everlast
Lyrics for Song: Folsom Prison Blues
Lyrics for Album: Love, War And The Ghost Of Whitey Ford [2008]



Who you trying to get crazy with Whitey

Don't you know I'm loco?



I hear that train a-comin'

Comin' around the bend

And I ain't seen the sunshine

Since I don't know when



I'm stuck in Folsom Prison

Time keeps draggin' on

Andthat train just 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 cry



I bet there's rich folks eatin'

From a fancy dining car

They're probably drinking whiskey

And smoking big cigars



Well, I know I had it coming

I know I can't be free

Those people keep a-movin'

And that's what tortures me



If they freed me from this prison

If that railroad train was mine

I'd probably move it just a little

Farther down the line



Far from Folsom Prison

That's where I long to stay

And I'd let that lonesome whistle

Blow out my blues away


Folsom Prison Blues - Everlast

Everlast delivers a gritty, blues-infused take on Bob Dylan's classic 'Folsom Prison Blues' on his 2008 album, Love, War And The Ghost Of Whitey Ford. The recording captures the raw energy of the artist's signature style, blending his powerful vocals with a rhythmic, percussive approach that emphasizes the song's themes of confinement and resilience. While the original composition is a staple of rock and roll history, Everlast's version recontextualizes the narrative through his unique delivery and the specific sonic palette of the late 2000s. The track stands as a testament to his ability to reinterpret iconic material, maintaining the song's emotional core while injecting it with his distinct, street-level persona.
