Folsom Prison Blues

Folsom Prison Blues (Live) - Merle Haggard

I hear that train a coming it's coming around the bend

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

I'm locked in folsom prison and time keeps dragging on

And I hear that train a-rolling on down to san antone

I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car

They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars

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

But I hear that train a-rolling and that's what tortures me

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 crazy lonely man I hang my head and I cry
