San An----tone.

When I was just a baby, my Mama told me son,

Always be a good boy, dont 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 theres rich folk eatin, ina fancy dining car,

Theyre probably drinking coffee, and smoking big cigars.

Well I know I had it comin, I know I cant be free.

But those people keep a movin, and thats what tortures me.

INSTRUMENTAL

Well If theyd free me from this Prison, if that

railroad train was mine,

I bet Id move it on, a little farther down the line.

Far from Folsom Prison, thats where I want to stay.

And Id let that lonesome whistle, blow my blues

away.

OUTRO: Same as Intro
