folsom prison blues - hank snow lyrics

Loading...

i hear that 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 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 that whistle blowin’, i hang my head and cry.

— instrumental —

i bet there’s rich folks eatin’ in some fancy dining car
they’re probably drinkin’ coffee and smokin’ big cigars
well, 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.

if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
i bet i’d move it on a little farther down the line
far from folsom prison, that’s where i want to stay
and i’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away…
