Wage War - Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics
Official




I hear the train a-comin'
It's rolling '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
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"
So 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 dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smoking big cigars
But I know I had it coming
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
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, yeah
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
