Lyrics
I hear that 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 draggin' on ♪ But that train keeps a rollin' On down to San Antone When I was just a baby My momma 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' in a fancy dinin' car They're probably drinkin' coffee And smokin' big cigars Well I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free But those people keep a movin' And that's what tortures me ♪ Well if they freed me from this prison If that railroad train was mine I'd 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 Lull my blues away
