Folsom Prison Blues - Jason Kirkness

Well I hear the train a comin' she's gonna rollin' round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when But I'm stuck in Folsom Prison oh the time keeps draggin' on And that train keep a rollin' on down to San Antone Well now I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car I bet they're drinkin' coffee chewin' on big cigars But I know I had it comin' now I know I can't be free And that train keep a movin' and Lord that's what tortures me [ Guitar ] Well when I was just a baby my mama told me son Always be a good boy don't you mess around with guns But I shot a man in Reno stood there to watch him die And when I hear that whistle blowing oh I hang my head and I cry Well if they freed me from this prison if that railroad train was mine Bet I'd move it on just a little bit farther down the line Away from Folsom Prison that's where I want to stay I got to stay now And I'd let that lonesome whistle let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

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 Anton 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 probally drinkin' coffee And smoking big cigars Well 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'd freed me from this prison If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it 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

You came from somewhere up there, over my head I just can't understand, no I just don't get Yeah I think I'm lettin just a little piece of heaven shine down on me Yeah you out of my league You came from somewhere up there Way over my head Somewhere up above the stars Where all the note sweets are Where you send your prayers up when you're down on your luck trynna find a little light in the dark It's where I'm at when you're next to me and it's where you got them angel wings You came from somewhere up there over my head I just can't understand, no I just don't get it Yeah I think I'm lettin just a little piece of heaven shine down on me Yeah you're out of my league You came from somewhere up there Way over my head You're still so down to earth You don't mind putting in the work You're a saint sent to save a sinner like me Ain't got no halo but you better believe You came from somewhere up there over my head I just can't understand, no I just don't get it Yeah I think I'm lettin just a little piece of heaven shine down on me Yeah you out of my league You came from somewhere up there Way over my head Way over my head It's where I'm at when you're next to me and it's where you got them angel wings You came from somewhere up there over my head I just can't understand no I just don't get Yeah I think I'm lettin just a little piece of heaven shine down on me Yeah you out of my league You came from somewhere up there Way over my head Way over my head
