Folsom Prison Blues No1 lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Folsom Prison Blues No. 1 12 lyrics Hello I m Ben Colder I hear the train a comin it s rollin down the track It s comin to Folsom Prison to bring me a six pack It s nice in Folsom Prison the warden s a swell guy But when I hear that lonesome whistle I feel like I could die When I was just a baby my mama put me down Said you are just a baby don t take your guns to town I shot a DJ up in Reno he wouldn t play my song Now the DJ s round the country they play me loud and long Hey whatch s that little ole lady doin in here (I m just here to get my baby out of jail) I ll bet there s rich folks eatin in them fancy dinin cars They re probably smokin coffee and drinkin black cigars I knew I s gonna mess that up I never get it right But when I hear that lonesome whistle I feel like I could die Warden said ya ll not supposed to do that When I sing that that s a no no If they freed me from this prison I d make like Jesse James If ya ll won t tell the warden I ll steal this dadburn train Bust through the walls of Folsom and make that whistle cry like this And if ya ll d be nice fellas I d take you for a ride I said a ride I didn t say die song lyrics
