I hear the train a comin' It's rollin 'round the bend And i ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when I'm stuck in folsom prison And time keeps draggin' on But that train keeps a movin' on Down to san antone When i was just a baby My mama said "hey son, Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns" But i shot a man in reno Just to watch him die When i hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry Well, if they freed me fom this prison If that railroad train was mine I bet i'd move it all A little farther down the line Far from folsom prison That's where i want to stay And i'd let that lonsome whistle Blow my blues away
