Additional Lyrics 3. I bet theres rich folks eatin in a fancy dining car; Theyre probly drinkin coffee and smokin big cigars. But I know I had it comin, I know I cant be free, But those people keep a-movin, and thats what tortures me. 4. Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine, I bet Id move on over a little farther down the line. Far from Folsom Prison, thats where I want to stay, And Id let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.
