Crescent City Blues/ Folsom Prison Blues

[proudmommaoftwins]

I was wondering if any one had "Crescent City Blues" to (not the song that Emmylou Harris sings) share with me. Plus Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash.

Thanks!!

Sparky, Thanks. It's kind of what I was looking for... some of the same lyrics. A female sang this song, it's where Johnny Cash got the idea to write Folsom Prison Blues a year later.

Here are the lyrics from the female singer.

I hear the train a-comin, it's rolling 'round the bend
And I ain't been kissed lord since I don't know when
The boys in Crescent City don't seem to know I'm here
That lonesome whistle seems to tell me, Sue, disappear

When I was just a baby my mama told me, Sue,
When you're grown up I want that you should go and see and do
But I'm stuck in Crescent City just watching life mosey by
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry

I see the rich folks eatin' in that fancy dining car
They're probably having pheasant breast and eastern caviar
Now I ain't crying envy and I ain't crying me
It's just that they get to see things that I've never seen

If I owned that lonesome whistle, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd find a man a little farther down the line
Far from Crescent City is where I'd like to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
