Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics

Johnny Cash

I hear the train a comin' it's rollin 'round the bend And I a'int 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 movin' on down to-San-An-Tone
When I was just a baby my mame 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 heat the whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry
Well, if they freed me fom this prison If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line Far from Fulsom Prison, that's where I want to stay [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/folsom-prison-blues-lyrics-johnny-cash.html ] And I'd let that lonsome whistle, blow my blues away I don't like it But I guess things happen that way You ask me if I'll get along I guess I will, some way I don't like it But I guess things happen that way God gave me that girl to lean on Then He put me on my own Heaven help me be a man Have the strength to stand aloneI don't like it But I guess things happen that way You asked me if I'll find another I don't know I can't say I don't like it But I guess things happen that way

These lyrics, are not all here, and some of the words do not belong to this song who ever wrote them should really listen to Johnny sing.

wrong lyrics, missing verse and addition of extra verses from a totally different song, Shame as it is a great GREAT song.
