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 Antone When I was just a young boy my mama told me, son, Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns. But I shot a man in Elgin just to watch him die When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry 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 freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it on 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

Jimmy Pappy 02:31
[Verse] An old Scots-Irish man, oh he went to the pub, With a pack of cigars he was after some grub. Didn't quite drink but a beer once a night. Till they gave him some whiskey and he started a fight. He was well known as an old pervy guy, If you started to talk, he'd go for an eye. Bottle in hand and a fist on his arm Lost friends in the war then he built a farm [Chorus] Drink for old Jimmy The boy overseas Let's thank god that's he's drinking Where we love him to be If you think that you can take more than Just a few shots once a night Buy old Pappy a drink Your liver, it'll rot, alright [Verse] He could drink with the pros, fight with the rest, He went to church daily so he could confess. His liver was dead, his lungs they were black, But boy old Jimmy, he could put them back. Flask in his coat, he was always prepared, More booze in his gut, than red in his hair. Wild Turkey in hand, he could barely stand He'd beat your ass if you messed with his friends. [chorus] Drink for old Jimmy The boy over seas Let's thank god that he's drinking Where we love him to be If you think that you can take more than Just a few shots once a night Buy old pappy a drink your liver it'll rot, alright
