folsom prison blues - waylon jennings lyrics

[verse]
i hear the train a coming
it’s rolling round the bend
i ain’t seen the sunshine
since i don’t know when
well, i’m stuck in folsom prison
and time keeps dragging on
but i see a train a moving
on down to san antone
bet there’s rich folks eating
in some fancy dining car
probably drinking coffee
and smoking big cigars
well, i know i had it coming
i know i can’t be free
but them people keep on moving
and that’s what tortures me
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
every time i hear that whistle
i hang my head and i cry
if they freed me from this prison
if that railroad train was mine
bet i’d move it on a
little bit farther down the line
far from folsom prison
that’s where i long to stay
and i’d let that lonesome whistle
blow my blues away…
