Johnny Cash-Folson Prison Blues

I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling 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 blowing, I hang my head and cry..

I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But 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.....

Grew up on this man. 2-21 still can't listen to hurt. Violently sobbed when I found out.... my baby will be raised on cash. And real music. Not like this new poppy flower covered shit. Johnny cash knew man. Respect.

I fear there will never be a musician as talented as Cash that will ever grace this unworthy earth again. It is good to hear that people will always know the truth and powerful meanings associated with Cash's words.

My grandpa always listens to Johnny Cash, and listening to his music makes me wish I could go back in time just to go to all of his concerts and live it up back in time. Johnny Cash will always be missed. <3
