I hear the train a coming Just rolling 'round this bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when I been stuck in Folsom Prison Time keeps dragging on But this train keeps a rolling Round onto sad and ton When I was just a baby My momma told me some'ng Always be a good boy Don't ever play with guns But I shot a man in Reno Just to watch him die And if I hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and cry (Take it away) (Woo) And now I bet there's rich folks eating In that fancy dining car I bet they're drinking coffee And smoking big cigars But I know I had it coming I know I can't be free But those people keep on moving And that's why it's bothering me Now if they freed me from this prison If that railroad train was mine I'd probably move it on a little further down the line Yeah I thought in Folsom Prison That's where I want to stay And I let that lonesome whistle Down all my blues away (Let's hear it) I hear the train a coming It's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison And time is dragging on But that train keeps a rolling Down onto sad and ton
