Starsky & Hutch movie - Folsom Prison Blues lyrics

rate me

Song by Johnny Cash<br /><br>

I hear the train a comin'<br>

It's rollin' 'round the bend,<br>

And I ain't seen the sunshine,<br>

Since, I don't know when,<br>

I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,<br>

And time keeps draggin' on,<br>

But that train keeps a-rollin',<br>

On down to San Antone.<br>

<br>

When I was just a baby,<br>

My Mama told me, "Son,<br>

Always be a good boy,<br>

Don't ever play with guns,"<br>

But I shot a man in Reno,<br>

Just to watch him die,<br>

When I hear that whistle blowin',<br>

I hang my head and cry.<br>

<br>

I bet there's rich folks eatin',<br>

In a fancy dining car,<br>

They're probably drinkin' coffee,<br>

And smokin' big cigars,<br>

But I know I had it comin',<br>

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 freed me from this prison,<br>

If that railroad train was mine,<br>

I bet I'd move out over a little,<br>

Farther down the line,<br>

Far from Folsom Prison,<br>

That's where I want to stay,<br>

And I'd let that lonesome whistle,<br>

Blow my Blues away. <br>
