Bobby Bare - Folsom Prison Blues lyrics

I hear that train a comin', rollin' around the bend I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on And that train keeps a movin' on down to San Antone. When I was a baby my mama told me son Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns But I shot a cat in Reno just to watch him die Yeah, I know I had it comin', I hang my head and cry. I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car Prob'ly drinkin' coffeee and smokin' big cigars Well, I'm stuck in Folsom Prison that's where I'll always be And them people keep a movin' and that's what tortures me. Yeah, if they freed me from this prison and 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 long to stay Yeah, I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away...
