Folsom Prison Blues' is a song by Johnny Cash, written in 1953 and first recorded in 1955. It was later included on the Johnny Cash's debut studio album 'With His Hot and Blue Guitar,' released in 1957.

Текст песни: I hear that 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 dragging on But that freight train keeps a rolling on down to San Antone Well when I was just a baby my mama told me so. know I can’t be free But those people keep a moving 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 it on a little farther down the line Far from Folsom Prison that’s where I wanna stay Then Lord I’d let that lonesome whistle. blow my blues away Oh Lord I’d let that lonesome whistle blow all my blues away.
