Reverend Horton Heat - Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash cover)

Album:Holy Roller

Lyrics:
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,
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 out over 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.

The Rev covers Johnny Cash like a champ.

[generationx1966]

Sad that we are inundated with Katy Perry,Justin Beiber,Lady Ga Ga,etc,etc,when great music like this rarely gets it due justice,praise and airplay.

[tonajki]

I almost exclusively listen to underground electronic music, the pushier half of it. But the Rev is a thin line of chemical streak for me.

I have to thank my awesome dad for showing me this <3

@generationx1966 No shit. I had the chance to see the Rev. live once and I think I had an idiotic grin the whole.

[VerdantDog]

@generationx1966 The only thing that gets older than shitty music is the people who bitch about it constantly.

[slipknotboy555]

Johnny himself would be proud of this cover, they did an awesome ass job

[weddinghendrik]
