Lyrics

[00:00.00] Folsom Prison
[00:02.00] (johnny cash)
[00:03.00]
[00:04.00]
[00:05.00]
[00:06.00]
[00:07.00]
[00:08.00]
[00:08.14] I hear the train a coming
[00:10.84] it's rolling round the bend
[00:13.12] And I ain't seen the sunshine
[00:15.86] since I don't know when
[00:17.96] I'm stuck at Folsom Prison
[00:20.59] and time keeps draggin' on
[00:23.61]
[00:26.41] But that train keeps rolling
[00:29.83] on down to San Antone
[00:33.97] When I was just a baby
[00:36.71] my mama told me, "Son
[00:39.18] Always be a good boy
[00:41.46] don't ever play with guns."
[00:43.53] But I shot a man in Reno
[00:46.39] just to watch him die
[00:48.65]
[00:51.42] When I hear that whistle blowing
[00:53.99] I hang my head and cry
[00:57.90]
[01:23.04] I bet there's rich folk eating
[01:26.16] in a fancy dining car
[01:28.51] They're prob'ly drinking coffee
[01:30.85] and smokin' big cigars
[01:33.10] But I know I had it coming
[01:35.77] I know I can't be free
[01:40.17] But those people keep a moving
[01:44.86] and that's what tortures me
[01:47.90]
[02:11.94] Well, if they freed me from this prison
[02:14.98] if that railroad train was mine,
[02:17.21] I bet I'd move on over
[02:19.64] a little farther down the line
[02:22.46] Far from Folsom Prison
[02:24.77] that's where I want to stay
[02:28.95]
[02:31.50] And I'd let that lonesome whistle
[02:34.02] blow my blues away.
