Lewis, Jerry Lee - Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics
I hear that train a-commin', it's rollin' around 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
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 drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
But 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 that freed me from this prison
and that railroad train was mine
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

KILLLLLLLLER 🎹❤
Jerry Lee Lewis is the greatest but that’s Johnny Cash’s and only he can sing I best
ROCK IT KILLER!
Jerry the Killer the only one
This is the worst cover I've ever heard. Disco wasn't for everybody.
Un tempo pas habituel pour jerry lee mais c'est génial...
Just mozart's rock
Bien trouvé,man
Killer Country is a great LP that stands the test of time.
I purchased this album when it was first released...around 1980--Killer Country. I believe this is the first track...I was expecting to hear something that sounded close to Johnny Cash's version, more or less. But after I listened to about the first 10 seconds, I was like...WOAH! This ain't like Cash! lmao. This is all KILLER! Only as JLL can do it. It's a rockin mutherhumper all the way! And, Kenny Lovelace is the only motherfucker in the world who can play rock and roll fiddle, and keep up with the Killer, lol. Freakin INSANE! CHEERS!
merci Jerry à toi aussi Cash
I prefer Jerry version of this song, more upbeat and instrumental, just personal preference. and love his piano playing to.
when johnny cash sings. this. one. it. sounds. like. he. is. doin. time. its. cashs. song. and. the killer. is. great
KILLER BABY!
Fuckin killer killed it. I love u johnny but jerry made this his.
Wake up America, when you top the great Johnny Cash doing his best it is the audience that is defective. Its not just music, Americans are in a trance steering this home of ours onto the rocks. The Killer is a genius, not just in music.
Let me know when that time comes when Johnny Cash tops on this song.
Best version of this song EVER! First heard it in the early 80's at a country western bar for about a month, and then the dj stopped playing it because it was "old"-that's what he told me. Too bad this song can't be purchased any more, or at least it wasn't available a few years ago when I was looking to buy it.
You are right ! !
This should be a hit right now. By far the best version of this great song. This is natural God given talent.
Negative; Johnny the Cash is still #1. This is interesting variation.
Couldn't agree more :D
Everything Jerry Lee does is amazing
I love this song!!!
@ConfederateSoilder1
Both are good
rock on
just love it when the piano kicks in
Rock on! The best version of this song :)
