lyrics

I hear the train a comin' it's rollin 'round the bend
and I a'int 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 movin' on down to-San-An-Tone

When I was just a baby my mame 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 heat the whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.

I bet there's rich folks eatin in a fancy dinin car
they're probably drinkin coffee and smokin big cigars
well i know i had it come i know i can't be free
but those people keep a movin and thats what tortures me.

Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine.
I bet I'd move it all 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.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
