"Folsom Prison" Johnny Cash
"I hear that train a comin'
rollin' round the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine
since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
time keeps dragging 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 ever play with guns
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear the whistle blowing'
I hang my head and cry
I bet there's rich folks
eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars
But I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
But those People keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me
Well, if they freed me from this Prison,
If that Railroad train was mine
I Bet I'd move on over
A little Farther down the line
Far from Fulton Prison
That's where I want to stay
And I'd let that Lonesome Whistle
Blow my Blues Away."
