[Verse] I hear that train acoming, its coming around the bend I aint seen the sunshine since I dont know when Im locked in Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on And I hear that train arolling on down to San Antone When I was just a baby, my mama told me, Son Always be a good boy and dont 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 I bet theres rich folks eating in a fancy dining car Theyre probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars Well I know I had it coming, I know I cant be free But I hear that train arolling and thats what tortures me If they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine I bet Id move it over a little farther down the line Far from Folsom Prison, thats where I long to be And let that train keep rolling and roll my blues awayYou might also like
