Folsom Prison blues by Johnny Cash

[00:09.08] I hear the train a comin',

[00:11.09] it's rolling 'round the bend,

[00:13.59] and I ain't seen the sunshine since

[00:17.86] I'm stuck in Folsom prison,

[00:20.62] and time keeps draggin' on.

[00:26.38] But that train keeps a rollin'

[00:29.39] on down to San Antone.
