folsom prison blues (2014)

Singer:jerry lee lewis

i hear that train a comin'

rollin' around the bend

i ain't seen the sunshine since i don't know when

i'm stuck in folsom prison

time keeps draggin' by

but when i hear that train a movin'

god

i hang

i hang

i hang my head and cry

you know

i bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car

they're drinking jack daniels whiskey

smoking big caboose cigars

stuck in folsom prison

time keeps draggin' on

every time i think of them women

god

i think of good ol' san antone

yeah

well

now when i was just a baby

baby

my mama told me

son

you oughta be a good boy

jerry

don't ever play with guns

shot a boy in memphis

i didn't mean just to watch him die

oh

when i think of good ol' memphis

tennessee

i hang my head and i cry

now if they freed me from this prison

if that railroad train was mine

i'd move it on just a little further down the line

far from folsom prison

that's where ol' killer needs to be

'cos them women keep on movin'

my god

they ain't gonna free me from this prison

and that railroad train ain't mine

i know they're never gonna let ol' jerry get no further down the line

far from folsom prison

that's where i ain't gonna be

woo

them women keep on movin'
