Folsom Prison Blues lyrics
Song information
Artist: Reverend Horton Heat Album: Holy Roller
Lyrics
Well I hear that train a comin' It's rollin' round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine Since I dont know when
Because I'm stuck in folsom prison And time keeps draggin on But that train keeps 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
Well I bet you all them rich men Are in fancy dine-in cars Probably drinking 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 And that railrod train was mine You bet I'd move it farther A little farther down the line
Far from folsom prison That's where I want to stay And I'd let that lonesome whistle Blow my blues away
