Folsom Prison Blues - Live at Folsom State Prison, Folsom, CA - January 1968

[00:00.28] Hello, I'm Johnny Cash
[00:10.50] I hear the train a-comin'
[00:12.64] It's rollin' 'round the bend
[00:14.80] And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
[00:19.17] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
[00:21.96] And time keeps draggin' on
[00:27.67] But that train keeps a-rollin'
[00:30.87] On down to San Antone
[00:34.54] When I was just a baby
[00:37.00] My mama told me
[00:38.14] Son, always be a good boy
[00:41.10] Don't ever play with guns
[00:43.12] But I shot a man in Reno
[00:46.13] Just to watch him die
[00:51.84] When I hear that whistle blowin'
[00:54.94] I hang my head and cry
[00:59.98]
[01:22.41] I bet there's rich folks eatin' from a fancy dinin' car
[01:26.86] They're probably drinkin' coffee
[01:28.98] And smokin' big cigars
[01:30.86] Well, I know I had it comin'
[01:33.79] I know I can't be free
[01:39.37] But those people keep a-movin'
[01:42.35] And that's what tortures me
[01:47.04]
[02:09.38] Well, if they freed me from this prison
[02:11.54] If that railroad train was mine
[02:14.12] I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
[02:18.32] Far from Folsom Prison
[02:20.99] That's where I want to stay
[02:26.68] And I'd let that lonesome whistle
[02:29.64] Blow my blues away
[02:34.66]
