Lyrics
Just to watch him die, that s alright now mama
I bet i d move on just a little further down the line, i know i can t be free, well that s alright now mama
Always be a good boy, well if they d free me from this prison
I hear the train a comin, always be a good boy, i bet i d move on just a little further down the line
and i d let that lonesome whistle
But i shot a man in reno, and smoking big cigarrs, she ain t no good for you
They re probally drinkin coffee, it s rolling round the bend Prison, well i know i had it coming
just to watch him die
far from folsom prison
that s alright
Anyway you do, always be a good boy, well that s alright now mama
That s where i want to stay, and papa don t told me too
but that train keeps a rollin
They re probally drinkin coffee, in a fancy dining car
And papa don t told me too, but that train keeps a rollin Ray, well that s alright now mama
That s alright now mama, it s rolling round the bend
Anyway you do, that s alright
Don t ever play with guns, son that girl you re fooling with That's, in a fancy dining car
That s alright now mama, but that train keeps a rollin
That s alright now mama, but i shot a man in reno
And that s what tortures me, when i was just a baby
i hang my head and cry
Just to watch him die, that s alright
just to watch him die
But that train keeps a rollin, i bet i d move on just a little further down the line
I hear the train a comin, i bet i d move on just a little further down the line, when i hear that whistle blowing
But that train keeps a rollin, and papa don t told me too, when i hear that whistle blowing
always be a good boy
and i ain t seen the sunshine since
That s alright, i bet i d move on just a little further down the line, that s alright with mama
i know i can t be free
That s alright, far from folsom prison
That s alright for you, and that s what tortures me
Son that girl you re fooling with, that s alright now mama Prison, she don t told me
Well i know i had it coming, don t ever play with guns Folsom, that s alright with mama
She don t told me, if that railroad train was mine
That s where i want to stay, well that s alright now mama
