Everybody knows where you go
to see the lights of town.
when I would try, try, try.
When the lights have lost their glow,
you're gonna cry, cry, cry.
and wait till you come in
and then you're gone again
For every question that I ask
you're gonna cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
When everyone's forgotten
and you're left all alone
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
You'll wake up some cold day
but I'm gonna tell you bye bye bye.
When I turn around and go
you're gonna cry cry cry.
when everyone's forgotten
and you're left all alone.
You're gonna cry cry cry.
You 're gonna cry cry cry
When everyone's forgotten
and you're left all alone
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
Well I hear that train comin'
It's rollin' round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since
But I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
and time keeps draggin' on
And that train keeps a -rollin' on
Jump on in here! Alright!
don't ever play with guns
But I shot a man in Reno,
When I hear that lonesome whistle,
Well, I bet there's rich folks eatin'
Well, I know I had it comin'
But those people keep a -movin'
Well, if they'd free me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I'd bet I'd move it on a little
Far from the post and prison,
that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
