Lyrics

I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling 'round the bend
 And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
 But I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps dragging on
 But that train keeps a-rolling on down to San Antone
 Oh-oh, when I was just a baby, my mama told me, "Son
 Always be a good boy, don't you ever play with guns"
 Oh, I shot a man in Reno, hey, just to watch him die
 When I hear that whistleblowing, I hang my head and cry
 ♪
 Whoa-whoa-oh
 ♪
 Well, I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
 They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
 Oh, I knew I had it coming, I know I can't be free
 But those people keep on moving
 And that's what tortures me
 Whoa-whoa-oh
 Well, if they freed me from this prison
 If that railroad train was mine
 I probably move it on 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
 (Yeah, yeah)
 Yeah (yeah)
 ♪
 Whoa-whoa-oh, whoa-whoa-oh
 And I'd damn the lonesome whistle
 It better blow my blues away
