lyrics

Well I hear that train a-coming
Comin' around the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
I'm bound to stay and die
And when I hear the lonesome whistle
I hang my head down and cry

Well now when I was a baby
My mama told me "Son,
Always be a good boy
Don't you ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
And when I hear the lonesome whistle
I hang my head down and cry

Well now if I was the railroad
If that old freight train was mine
I think I'd get it movin'
Just a little down the line
But I knew I had it coming
I had to carry on
And now I hear the whistle blowing
A-down to San Antone

Well my mama, she done told me
Papa done told me too
Son, that gal you're fooling with
She ain't no good for you
But that's all right
That's all right
That's all right now mama
Any way that you do

Well I stand at my window
Hang my head and cry
I hate to lose that woman
Hate to say goodbye
But that's all right
That's all right
That's all right now mama
Any way that you do

Well now one of these mornings
Lord it won't be long
Gonna look for me baby
And daddy will be gone
But that's all right
That's all right
That's all right now mama
Any way that you do

That's all right now mama
Any way that you do
That's all right now mama
Any way that you do
