Paroles de Folsome Prison Blues

I hear the train a comin?
It's rollin? round the bend
An' I ain?t seen the sunshine
Since I don?t know when
I am 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 gun
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin?
I hang my head and cry
I bet there?re rich folks eatin?
In a fancy dining car
They?re prob?ly drinking coffee
And smoking big cigars
Well I know I had it coming
I know I can?t be free
But those people keep on movin?
And that?s what tortures me
Well if they freed me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine, Blow my blues away
