Johnny Cash Folsom Prison Blues
I hear that train a comin It s 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 rollin On down to San Antone. When I was just a baby My mama told me, Son, Always be a good boy Don t you ever play with guns But I shot a man in Reno Just to watch him die When I hear that lonesome whistle I hang my head and cry. Well I bet there s rich folks eating In a fancy dinin car I bet they re taking mushrooms And smokin big cigars Well I know I had it comin I know I can t be free Those people keep movin And that s what tortures me. If they free me from this prison If that railroad train was mine You bet I d move it on A little farther down the line Yeah, far from Folsom Prison That s where I want to be Well those people keep movin Goddammit, that s what tortures me.
