Folsom Prison Blues

"Folsom Prison Blues" (1953) by Johnny Cash
烈鷹的翻唱

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 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 folks eatin'
in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
and smoking big cigars
Well, I know I had it coming,
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 it on
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
