Το σημερινό τραγούδι της ημέρας έρχεται για μία ακόμη φορά από τον τεράστιο Johnny Cash. Είναι το τραγούδι Folsom Prison Blues, κομμάτι που βγήκε το 1955. Θα το ακούσουμε όπως το τραγούδησε ο Cash το 1969 στις φυλακές St. Quentin και μία εξαιρετική νεότερη version από τον βραβευμένο με Grammy ράπερ Everlast.
Folsom Prison Blues
I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' '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 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,
When I hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and cry.
I bet there's rich folks eatin',
In a fancy dining car,
They're probably drinkin' coffee,
And smokin' big cigars,
But I know I had it comin',
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 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.
