Bill Miller - Folsom Prison Blues lyrics

I ain't seen the sunshine since, I don't know when

Yeah I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, time keeps dragging on

But that train just keeps on rollin, on down to San Anton

When I was just a baby, mama told me son

She said always be a good boy, don't you ever play with guns

But I shoot a man in Reno, just to what he die

When I hear that lonesome whitsle blow, I hang my head down and cry

Well I bet theres rich folk eating in some fancy dining car

Probably drinking coffee, smoking big cigars

Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free

But that train just keeps on rollin, thats what tortures me

Keep on rollin...

Well if they freed me from that prison and that railroad train was mine

I bet I move it on just a little farther down that line

Far from Folson Prison is where I want to stay

Well I let that lonesome whistle blow, blow my blues away

Well I let that lonesome whistle blow, just blow my blues away
