Kameron Marlowe - Folsom Prison Blues lyrics
[Kameron Marlowe - Folsom Prison Blues lyrics]
I hear the train a-comin'
It's rolling 'round the bend
And 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 that train keeps a rollin'
On down to San Antone
When I was just a baby my mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy
Don't you ever play with guns"
Oh, and I shot a man in Reno
Yeah, just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing
I hang my head and cry
Well, I bet there's rich folks eating
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and
Smoking big cigars
Oh, I knew I had it coming
I know I can't be free
But those people keep on movin'
And that's what tortures me
If they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I'd probably move it on a
Little farther down the line
Oh, and back in Folsom prison
That's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away yeah, yeah
And that damned old lonesome whistle
It better blow my blues away
It's rolling 'round the bend
And 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 that train keeps a rollin'
On down to San Antone
When I was just a baby my mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy
Don't you ever play with guns"
Oh, and I shot a man in Reno
Yeah, just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing
I hang my head and cry
Well, I bet there's rich folks eating
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and
Smoking big cigars
Oh, I knew I had it coming
I know I can't be free
But those people keep on movin'
And that's what tortures me
If they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I'd probably move it on a
Little farther down the line
Oh, and back in Folsom prison
That's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away yeah, yeah
And that damned old lonesome whistle
It better blow my blues away
