I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round 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 Anton.
When I was just a baby
My mama 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
Now every time I hear that whistle
I hang my head and cry.
--- Instrumental---
I bet there's rich folks eating
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smoking big cigars.
Well, 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 they'd free me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move just a little further
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...
Conway Twitty, stage name of Harold Lloyd Jenkins (1933-1993), was a legendary American singer-songwriter and guitarist. Born in Arkansas, he began his musical career in the 1950s as a rockabilly artist, achieving success with the group The Imperials. In 1965, after a brief foray into country music, he embraced the pop-country style that would make him famous. With an unmistakable vocal timbre and catchy melodies, Twitty dominated the country charts for over two decades, selling millions of records and winning numerous awards. Among his most celebrated hits are "Hello Darlin'", "It's Only Make Believe" and "Tight Fittin' Jeans".
