Folsom Prison Blues

I hear the train a comin'
我听到火车开过来
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
就那样滚过了一个弯
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
不记得什么时候起
Since, I don't know when,
就再没见过阳光
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
我被关在福尔松监狱

这里的时间真煎熬
And time keeps draggin' on,
但是那火车
But that train keeps a-rollin',
一直奔着圣安东尼奥而去
On down to San Antone.
当我是个孩子的时候

妈妈就告诉我，儿子啊
When I was just a baby,
要做个乖宝宝
My Mama told me, "Son,
千万不要乱耍枪
Always be a good boy,
但我在里诺开枪打人
Don't ever play with guns,"
看着他死掉
But I shot a man in Reno,
当我听见警笛鸣叫的时候
Just to watch him die,
捂着头不争气地哭了
When I hear that whistle blowin',
我打赌有钱的乡亲们
I hang my head and cry.
在有趣的餐车里吃饭

他们很有可能喝着咖啡
I bet there's rich folks eatin',
抽着大大的雪茄
In a fancy dining car,
好吧我知道面对的什么
They're probably drinkin' coffee,
我知道没有自由啦
And smokin' big cigars,
但是那些人还大吃大喝
But I know I had it comin',
这是最折磨我的事情啦
I know I can't be free,
要是他们把我从监狱里放出来

如果那条铁路和火车是我的
But those people keep a-movin',
我打赌我要开得

比终点站远一点
And that's what tortures me.
在离福尔松监狱很远

我要停留的地方
Well, if they freed me from this prison,
拉响孤独的汽笛
If that railroad train was mine,
吹散我的忧伤
I bet I'd move out over 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.
