I'm in prison, shot a guy
I'm in prison, shot a guy
I hear that whistle blowing
Oooh, now I hang my head and cry

Hear train coming, wanna ride
Here I'm sitting, no sunshine
I hung my head already
Oooh, now I sit right here and cry

My mother had told me son
Don't play with guns, tough guy
But in Reno he is in a hearse
Shoot, just to watch him cry

Prison, here I'll die
Heard whistle already
Oooh, now I sit right here and cry

I bet the rich do dine
In a dining car of gold
Smoking big cigars now
And they sip cappuccinos

Prisoned, with you guy
Hung me head already
Oooh, now I sit right here and cry

If prison I resigned
Railroad train I stole
Move down just a little
From this Folsom d*mn black hole
I'm moving down the line
That'd be where I'm staying
"Toot!" whistle bid my blues goodbye
