folsom prison dub

i hear the train a comin'

it's rolling round the bend

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

but i'm stuck in folsom prison

and time keeps draggin' on

but i hear the train a rollin' on down to san anton. when i was just a baby my mama told me. son

always be a good boy

and don't ever play with guns. but i shot a man in reno just to watch him die

and i hear the whistle blowing

i my head and cry. i bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car

they're probably drinkin' whiskey 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. and if they'd free me from this prison

if that railroad train were mine

i bet i'd move a little on a little farther down the line

far from folsom prison

that's where i want to be

and i'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.
