Folsom Prison blues

[00:05.21] I hear the train a comin',

[00:07.22] it's rolling 'round the bend,

[00:09.72] and I ain't seen the sunshine since

[00:12.66] I don't know when.

[00:13.99] I'm stuck in Folsom prison,

[00:16.75] and time keeps draggin' on.

[00:22.51] But that train keeps a rollin'

[00:25.52] on down to San Antone.

[00:28.18] a

[00:29.18] When I was just a baby

[00:31.44] my mama told me: "Son,

[00:33.95] always be a good boy,

[00:35.96] don't ever play with guns".

[00:37.96] But I shot a man in Reno

[00:40.72] just to watch him die.

[00:46.73] When I hear that whistle blowing,

[01:17.06] I bet there's rich folks eating

[01:18.99] in a fancy dining car,

[01:21.31] they're probably drinkin' coffee

[01:23.57] and smoking big cigars.

[01:25.32] Well, I know I had it coming,

[01:28.33] I know I can't be free,

[01:33.84] but those people keep a-movin'

[01:37.09] and that's what tortures me.

[01:40.75] a

[02:04.05] Well, if they freed me from this prison,

[02:06.31] if that railroad train was mine,

[02:08.81] I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line.

[02:13.32] Far from Folsom prison,

[02:15.82] that's where I want to stay.

[02:21.59] And I'd let that lonesome whistle

[02:24.60] blow my blues away.
