Blues Folsom Prison

Blues Folsom Prison

I hear a train approaching, is taking the curve
and have not seen the sunrise or when,
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time is endless
while the train is going to San Antonio.

When I was just a kid, my mother told me "Son,
is always a good boy, never play with guns "
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
When I hear that whistle sound, I can only bow our heads and mourn

I bet there are other rich guys having dinner at the nice restaurant
likely to be drinking coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I saw it coming, I can not be free,
But people are still moving, and that's what tortures me

Well, if I was released from this prison, if that train was mine
I bet that would go a little beyond the border
far from Folsom Prison that's where I want to be
and let that whistle solo takes away my disgrace.

    This song, besides being the most famous of Johnny Cash, says what he thinks every prisoner. And we go back through that sound so characteristic of the boom-boom-chaca to the rhythm of the train that moves and keeps moving.
