Ring of Fire The Musical movie - Folsom Prison Blues lyrics

rate me

Song by Johnny Cash<br /><br>

I hear the train a comin?<br>

it?s rolling round the bend<br>

and I ain?t seen the sunshine since I don?t know when,<br>

I?m stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin? on<br>

but that train keeps a rollin? on down to San Anton..<br>

When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,<br>

always be a good boy, don?t ever play with guns.<br>

But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die<br>

now every time I hear that whistle I hang my head and cry..<br>

<br>

I bet there?s rich folks eating in a fancy dining car<br>

they?re probably drinkin? coffee and smoking big cigars.<br>

Well I know I had it coming, I know I can?t be free<br>

but those people keep a movin?<br>

and that?s what tortures me...<br>

<br>

Well if they?d free me from this prison,<br>

if that railroad train was mine<br>

I bet I?d move just a little further down the line<br>

far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay<br>

and I?d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....<br>
