LYRICS AS WRITTEN BY JOHNNY CASH (THE WRITER OF THE SONG):I hear the train a comin'It's rollin' 'round the bend,And I ain't seen the sunshine,Since, I don't know when,I'm 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 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.I bet there's rich folks eatin',In a fancy dining car,They're probably drinkin' coffee,And smokin' big cigars,But I know I had it comin',I know I can't be free,SongtexteBut those people keep a-movin',And that's what tortures me.Well, if they freed me from this prison,If that railroad train was mine,I bet I'd move it on a little,Farther down the line,Far from Folsom Prison,That's where I want to stay,And I'd let that lonesome whistle,Blow my Blues away.WHAT WAS POSTED:I hear that train a comin' rollin' around the bendI ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know whenI'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' onAnd that train keeps a movin' on down to San AntoneWhen I was a baby my mama told me sonAlways be a good boy don't ever play with gunsBut I shot a cat in Reno just to watch him dieYeah I know I had it comin' I hang my head and cryI bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining carProb'ly drinkin' coffeee and smokin' big cigarsWell I'm stuck in Folsom Prison that's where I'll always beAnd them people keep a movin' and that's what tortures meYeah if they freed me from this prison and that railroadtrain was mineI bet I'd move it on a little farther down the lineFar from Folsom Prison that's where I long to stayYeah I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away Aus Songtexte Mania
