Hello I'm Johnny Cash |
|
I hear the train a comin' |
|
It's rolling round the bend |
|
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when |
|
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on |
|
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone. |
|
When I was just a baby my mama told me \"Son |
|
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.\" |
|
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die |
|
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry. |
|
Suey |
|
I bet there's rich folks eating from a fancy dining car |
|
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars. |
|
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free |
|
But those people keep a movin' |
|
And that's what tortures me... |
|
Well if they freed me from this prison |
|
If that railroad train was mine |
|
I bet I'd 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... |
