I hear the train a comin'

[BurtWorm]

It's rollin' round the bend
I ain't seen sunshine since
I don't know when

I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on


(From memory...drawin' a blank on what comes next...Johnny Cash was my very favorite country singer. I loved him even when I hated country music. He was like an icon of tough, decent Americanness. I really will miss him.)

1. Some friends and I recorded a psychedelic version of FPB once.

It was at least entertaining.

(Pssstt....it's "rollin'" round the bend....)

3. Here ya go - the lyrics!

Folsom Prison Blues, by John R. Cash copyright 1956 Hi Lo Music

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 at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on.
But that train keeps 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 folk eatin' in a fancy dining car.
They're prob'ly 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 on 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

4. Quick! Somebody try to put Cash into ONE category!

Was he Country or Rock And Roll? I say he was the King Of No Man's Land!
