Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics

Artist: Johnny Cash

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.

Comments/Interpretations
by Britney on 5/11/2008 11:21pm love the song
by fuck nuts licker on 5/12/2008 12:40pm this is a fucking rasis song so suck my monster dick. so if i hear one more song like this ill find you, shove my metel hard dick up your nose and shoot a load into your mother
by trevor on 5/15/2008 7:47am good grammar. how is it rasist?
by mom of four children on 5/15/2008 9:44pm I find it hard to believe that someone would write such trash and post it on a site that is visible for all. It is painfully obvious to me and the entire world for that matter, that you sir, are a moron.
by mom of four children on 5/15/2008 9:46pm By the way, my comment was directed at the vulgar comment from 5/12/2008.
by Befuttled on 5/16/2008 4:08pm Since when is "Folsom Prison Blues" a rasist song? and if you have to elude to your genitalia, you probably are compensating for something. Regardless,
by Befuttled on 5/16/2008 4:09pm Since when is "Folsom Prison Blues" a rasist song? and if you have to elude to your genitalia, you probably are compensating for something. Regardless, I completely agree with 'Mom of four children'; "It is painfully obvious to me and the entire world for that matter, that you sir, are a moron." Do us a favor, and leave the internet in its entirety. Or the gene pool, preferably.
by what is your problem on 5/17/2008 4:56am how is this song racist. Two this song has been around for a long time and ive never heard about it being racist. Plus its abou johny cash own experience so i gues if he was being racist it would be racist against white people wich isnt racist since he is white. And the way you act does do any good for promoting your image so if anyone is doing nything wrong its you giving what ever race you are a bad name.
by Zack on 5/17/2008 10:33am I love this song. It is awesome.
by nuck futz liquor on 5/17/2008 6:15pm I love the internet. A person with an IQ of 12 can post whatever they want and make a wonderful contribution. I had no idea it was spelled "rasist" and "metel". Brilliant. Please don't have children.
by jt101391 on 5/18/2008 4:32am fuck nuts licker is so stupid
by High School student on 5/18/2008 6:12pm I got this for a topic for a research paper. i really have NO CLUE what im doing and i need help. the lyrics dont say anything about anything even relatively important that still connects to the lyrics. i think it was a bad idea for them to give me this song. im just venting. thanx for listening.
by Julie DK on 5/19/2008 2:49pm Great song. Fantastic. Sorry that he is dead, I really wanted to meet this guy. - Rasist? If you are a childish (black) person who is very dumb and wants it to be rasist, then; yeah. So fucking stupid.
by John T on 5/19/2008 5:44pm Like Cash, the song is awesome. Also, apparently some village is missing an idiot.
by babyboomer1954 on 5/19/2008 9:00pm For the High School Student...picture being stuck in a prison (maybe for life) and hearing a train in the background. Imagine where you would go on that train if it stopped and picked you up. Imagine hearing this sound everyday and never being able to get out of there. Imagine paying your dues to society with never knowing if you will ever get out. Imagine the things that will go through your mind, and what it would do....it could be a mental torture everyday...for who knows how long.....
by Emily Geno on 5/21/2008 5:36pm This song is great!iam doing a research paper on johnny cash and so far i have found some pretty interesting facts. Johnny cash is a great role model and this essay is getting better and better maybe my best one yet!
by the church lady on 5/22/2008 12:42pm Now Fuck Nuts Licker, you should really consider cleaning up that potty mouth of yours. It just isn't nice.
by barker 17 on 5/24/2008 12:15pm great tune by the man in black
by preyna on 5/24/2008 12:29pm I like it! It's a song you can have fun playing at any event.*
by Jesus on 5/24/2008 4:08pm i say you all stop worrying about it. he was obviously just expressing himself. if a man that stupid needs to use words like fuck. nuts. and licker. he is just expressing his desire for a life. because posting on a comment box about an un racist song being racist by talking about his monster dick being a monster and raping everyone. well. he just wishes it were true. and church lady. you disapoint me. potty mouth? seriously?
by That other guy on 5/26/2008 11:43am His own experience? He wrote this song waaay before he ever got into prison himself.
by Andrew Smith on 5/26/2008 1:08pm Yes you obviosly don't know the meaning of the word racist. This song was wrote when Johnny was in the army nothing to do with racism.
by maco on 5/26/2008 1:40pm Brilliant song. Some peeps just dain't know real raw talent when they see it.
by Giacomo on 5/27/2008 10:28pm Folsom is in California, he did the murder in Nevada....Johnny, tesify: what up?
by That other guys friend on 5/28/2008 4:23pm No this was afterhe went in the time macine to see what it was like in prison so it was his personal experience.
by Justin Hall on 5/28/2008 8:41pm Good Song I love to sing it alot
by Paddy on 5/30/2008 1:21pm I find it extremely comforting to know that there are people who are willing to speak out against those who fill the internet with crap. I am proud of everyone who has denounced the man who has tainted this site with his stupidy, arrogance and rudeness. This is a brilliant song, it is brilliant in its simplicity. why people feel the need to say and do stupid things which help no-one is beyond me. I think that there are a lot of people in this world who need to grow up an awful lot. This site should not need to have to deal with stupid people, we should be talking about wonderful music, and not the ignorance of "fuck nuts licker". It saddens me to know that this is neccasary and there are people who activly look for people to provoke and upset. That is all.
by J.P on 5/31/2008 1:23am Great song
by ME on 6/2/2008 3:47pm Johnny Cash never killed anyone,it was not wrote on experience. He was only imprissoned for one night to do with the pills. His songs are brilliant.
by odessa,texas boy on 6/3/2008 3:52pm i sure wish i could have met Johnny cash.i luv this song and the way it was sung on the movie 'walk the line'.
by trevor on 6/3/2008 11:00pm don't post unless you know what your talking about.this isn't about johnny cash's experience. he wrote this song well before he got busted for anything. He wrote this song before anyone even knew of him. he wrote this song while he was in europe with the army. again I just want to say you sound like a fucking moron when you try to sound smart and stand up for johnny, and write shit that's not even true. you're definitly not a johnny cash fan. Good song. It definitly think that he had his brother in mind during the writting of mos songs. if it weren't for johnny cash's brother. johnny would have never Been as successful as he is today. Johnny and June Cash, forever in our hearts. RIP.
by Ado! on 6/4/2008 5:48am Johnny was an original and there's no one comparable to him. I see a lot of people reacted to the email from FNL. Well I'll make a comment and say the world could do with eliminating people like this. He's an embarrasment to Human kind. Or maybe he's mentally challenged so then he needs professional help. I hope he gets it!
by englandboy on 6/4/2008 5:42pm this song is great, love the film aswel
by Nicky on 6/5/2008 12:44am @Trevor: How can you judge someone to be a true or a "false" fan of Cash based on nothing more than comments? Besides, do you really thing that it matters to know all the detailed facts of a singer's life to truly appreciate his music? You know, if it were so, Johnny Cash and many, many other artists would probably have very few fans.
by self-proclaimed grammar freak. on 6/5/2008 7:20pm i would like to complement andrew smith on being the first person on this page to spell "racist" correctly. btw, this is an amazing song.
by Sangofanzak on 6/6/2008 10:17am I love this song almost as much as his cover of Hurt. Anyone who hasnt heard it needs to hear it its incredible. Also that ass at the top has no idea wat hes talking about obviously. i dont see how the song is "rasis"! its racist fuckin retard
by Fuck nuts lickers Mother on 6/6/2008 8:17pm I apologise for my sons ridiculous comments, he is exceptionally retarded and sadly doesn't understand anything, I have to go now so he can shove his hard metel cock up my nose and shoot a load into my brain, well I am his mother, who else would let him.
by Hector Fernandez on 6/7/2008 12:04pm I'm Dominican and black, and I love Johnny Cash! His music transcends race and is meant to reach out to the downtrodden spirit in all of us. For someone to say this is racist and put in a name and comment laced with profanity, just shows that they want attention. Sadly if you go to any message board (I'm serious, be it about information technology or weight lifting) someone will always says some extraordinarily stupid or obscene comment just to ruffle feathers and get attention. It's likely because their mother didn't hug them enough as a child. Let's all send him a great big hug so he won't have to do this silliness anymore.
by dork on 6/8/2008 3:43pm your a retard
by alyson on 6/14/2008 8:58pm i dont understand the song?
by JCfan on 6/18/2008 1:22pm I think "fuck nuts licker" doesn't understand this great song.. He's probably the smartest man alive, especially when you put a comment like this on the internet..
by JP on 6/18/2008 8:23pm How can you not understand this song ? Johnny is putting himself in the shoes of a folsom prisoner at the time and then put into words.
by Brandon on 6/20/2008 1:25pm Fuck nutz licker you need to learn what a great song this is.
by Michael on 6/20/2008 3:07pm dude Johnny Cash is amazing all the stuff today built off him he is amazing and i think this is his best song
by Michael R. on 6/23/2008 9:28pm Alot of people think Johnny doesn't make any sense just because he wrote in the song that he shot a man in Reno just to watch him die but is in a California prison. Here's a thought, what if he's in Folsom prison on a differant charge and when he has served his time there then he will go to a Nevada prison, or maybe he just never got caught for the reno killing. Hmmmmm?
by Hazel S. on 6/25/2008 10:32pm I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan. Folsom Prison Blues is one of my favorite songs. People should remember that Mr. Cash was an artist first. If he enhanced his lyrics for full effect, that's what he did. He played a gig at the prison, and to his own surprise, the prisoners already knew the lyrics to his songs because identified with what he was saying. Just because he didn't actually do time there (or commit the crime) didin't mean he wasn't, at certain points in his life, in a prison of his own. Here's to genius and a real man. By the way, for the record, Mr. Cash did not shoot a man in Reno just watch him die. That's what you call, "poetic license." (sp?) As an aside, I'd like to point out that I'm a black female, from the East Cost, and I can't think of one Johhny Cash lyric that could be characterized as "racist."
by jimmy joe on 6/26/2008 6:40am this song is awesome i did not like johnny cash til i heard it ain't me babe then this one made me a huge fan of j.cash
by playa on 6/26/2008 12:11pm He shot that man for the lulz
by epil on 6/27/2008 4:23pm crustaceo
by KyleeMarie. on 6/29/2008 12:26pm Racist my ass. your probably i freaking nigger. That no one likes anywayss.
by TheOUTLAW on 6/30/2008 8:08pm I have no idea why anyone would interpret this song as racist. If anything it aludes to a man who that is lamenting the mistakes of his youth. And, I'm not even a Johnny Cash fan. But this is a great song.
by fuck nuts licker on 7/2/2008 8:23am who said it is a racist song ?
by doc on 7/2/2008 10:23am how can this song be racist, he's talking about prison, no connection from race there, hes not saying a black person shot him or he shot a black man.
by Manda on 7/3/2008 3:03pm sarcasticallyOh yes of course this song is about racism i mean its so logical you know?
by here here on 7/4/2008 8:18pm I'd just like to say that this song is defintely not racist and that FNL can shove his 'metal cock' up his donkey's ass because he has no idea what so ever on the subject of this song
by vlieger on 7/4/2008 8:42pm get a lfe
by THE ONE N ONLY on 7/5/2008 6:05pm Hello Psycho, stop using bad words. We all know it, we all hear it. So you dont ve to teach us all this again. ok? Well, someone wrote a song. If you dint like it, just shake it off your head, and get goin. Abusing someone isnt going to help you. Am not blaming you. But why cant we be a nice to others, please?
by DICKFART on 7/6/2008 3:14pm Hhaaa i wana fuck johnny Cash

by Ricky-man on 7/11/2008 2:07pm Johnny's song will live forever including this great one - he was the best. People: don't let the Nutz Twins get under your skin. They're reaction-getters - ignore, ignore, ignore.
by John Doe on 7/14/2008 2:47pm Hey guys, were here to talk about a song not about some stupid comments posted months ago !!! Anyway, Cocaine Blues, boy named sue, John Henri's hammer, Johnny Cash is the MAN !!!
by Bonnie on 7/14/2008 7:55pm Okay, I Cant See How Anyone Would Sit There And Say This Song Is Racsis when Its Not! This Song was Written Way Before This Guy Came Along and Said This He Dont Know Johnny's Life! Ok Fuck Nuts Licker Guess What?? I LOVE THIS SONG! ITS MY 2ND FAVORITE JOHNNY CASH SONG! Thats All!
by me on 7/16/2008 11:39am this is a realy good song.and for every 1 who said it was rasist, your wrong.horribly wrong.this is my favorite song by johnny,also,some of you need to learn to spell,and this is coming from an 8th grader
by Ben (from Norway) on 7/16/2008 11:42am One of my favorite Johnny Cash songs! RIP Cash
by Friend of Cash Family on 7/16/2008 4:49pm Take this smelly blog down if you can't clean it up You heard of "No shoes, no shirt, no service"? Time to expel a customer or two.
by The Pag on 7/17/2008 1:04pm Great Tune. Not racist. Am researching the blues and this is it.
by butterflies on 7/18/2008 11:58pm i love this song no matter what time or where your at or how your feeling this song always makes me feel great.
by Rock&Rollisheretostay on 7/22/2008 1:43pm this song does talk about cash's own time in jail even tho it was very short lived. non the less it is an awesome song. and this comment box has a spell check you dumb shit :D
by Shana on 7/24/2008 9:33pm Polsom Prison is an awsome song. you have to love the man in black. johnny cash is aswsome. love his music
by Johnny Cash on 7/26/2008 12:46am he wrote the song BEFORE he ever went to jail. He only spent a short time in jail for posession of pain killers or "uppers and downers" that alot of the rock and roll performers were taking at the time Prescibed by doctors. Johnny was not the bad ass that his songs portrayed him to be.
by byah! on 7/28/2008 1:55pm johnny cash wrote this AFTER!!! HE was out of jail and OFF the pain killers he was addicted to..he kept getting letters from prisoners there and wrote a song for them...im pretty sure he wasnt jailed in folsom prison to begin with..
by ALI - on 7/29/2008 10:13pm HE's a good man in all but nothing against you people, he four daughters a wife named vivian.Didnt he realize what he gave up ,I know that the drugs made him crazy but that doesnt make him fall in love with another women does it ? I have been reading this book that vivian, his ex , im now reading all his love letters when he was on the service since 1951 to 1954 , every day he would right her in the morning in the afternoon .Just explaining his love and that he would never cheat on her if they were ever married .the love letters started from page 21 - 269 . If you ever want to read this book its called I WALKED THE LINE MY LIFE WITH JHONNY. thankyou
by nuck futz liqer on 8/3/2008 2:30am you shitbags are all fucking retarded you have no intellect. eat pusy cock you mom fuckers, this song IS rasist
by deej on 8/3/2008 2:32pm Obviously The F*ck Nuts Licker got what he wanted by posting what he did. All the comments that were directed on what he said and not about the song. He is obviously looking for attention and he got. Now can we just move on. It's Johnny Cash, not some "special" person who posts stupid, inappropriate, uneducated stuff on the internet. So, I love this song!!
by becca on 8/4/2008 1:44pm I generally love this song its one of my favorite songs besides big river that Johnny Cash did and I dont see how it is rasist at all so whatever its a awesome song.
by ali on 8/4/2008 7:39pm k nuckfutzliqer is obvisouly some 12 year old that is bored becuase he stays home allday cause school has not started yet .You guys have to seriously take this to mind that he doesn't know what he's talking about . Just dont give him any attention and sooner or later he might stop okay there is no since of fighting online with some kid .
by Mr Alvarado on 8/9/2008 12:59am you are all idiots (the ones who commented back on that stupid comment) we all know the song isnt racist and that he posted a random comment and he got all your attention. by the way, i love this song haha
by ghost of on 8/9/2008 7:33pm nigs and wigs are constantly playing the race card these days. it is nothing but a power play and we white folk must stick together and remain superior!
by HAHA on 8/11/2008 10:43pm i think the kkk is present in this chat..
by Cowboy on 8/13/2008 6:11pm Did he say he's a fuck stick nut licker? When will blacks get the chip off their shoulders? If they can't say anything relavent, it' becomes a race issue. Grow up and do your failing race a favor by being a drive by victim.
by Dollface on 8/13/2008 9:56pm 1.I love this song and R.I.P our dear Johnny 2. So i decided to be a part of this pointless babble and say "Yes the kkk is present... what big surprise! Let's all run and hide!" BEING VERY SARCASTIC
by St. Fire on 8/14/2008 3:08am this fuck nuts licker guy is pretty smart you guys see.... he says that folsom prison blues is a racist song, well i say that you mr should go fuc yourself and get some music education... and yea... try to understand this song you dumbass... and go fuck and lick ur dad's nuts before you comethrowing shiton songs like folsom prison blues... pathetic new generation with a pathetic taste of music.
by Anonymous on 8/14/2008 8:25am FAIL TROLL IS... WIN?!
by College Graduate on 8/14/2008 4:32pm If we are going to be upset by these lyrics, can we do it in an educated manor? If we don't, all arguments are lost to stupidity anyway.
by College Graduate on 8/14/2008 4:35pm Just in case there is any confusion, it's 'racist', 'metal', and derogatory language is generally not a key indicator of an educated statement.
by johhny cash on 8/17/2008 3:28pm fuck you nigger johhny cash would blow your monkey brains on the wall sursideoutlaws
by Jake on 8/19/2008 12:25pm Why does there have to be so much hate over an amazing song. Folsom Prison Blues is one of my favorite Cash songs. Its not racist its not offensive at all. Its just an all around great song.
by James Bond on 8/22/2008 1:30pm That nuts licker is not just a racist, he's even a white racist. Gives other good white people a bad name. F him. :) Alot of talk about Johnny and prision. He never served other than a night here and there for misdemeanors and according to the "Walk the line" movie, he wrote the song while in the army or airforce. Not all songs are based on experience. I think he sort of felt inprisoned BY the airforce. According the movie, before he began singing he asked "you got a problem with the air force?" and the go said "no". Johnny says "I do" and then went into this song. So my take is that he felt imprisoned and linked it to being no unlike being in real prison.
by RACISM FOR CASH on 8/24/2008 11:45am You guys, it's me, Johnny. I just wanted to drop in and say that the song WAS meant to be super racist. I just wanted to be hatin' on the white man for putting me in prison while they were in their suits with their damn fancy cars and swimmin pools, while I was stuck behind those bars. Sorry for all the confusion. But ye, I am super racist
by You are all morons on 8/27/2008 1:50pm So I find it hilarious that a troll makes an over-the-top retarded comment that was obviously not meant to be taken serioulsy and you get an entire group of dim wits responding to it. Holy shit people, learn to ignore things in life, especially an obvious troll.
by Ya Mum on 8/29/2008 9:25pm comment on "8/27/2008 1:50pm". i dont even know why i was reading half the trash here, but you got one hell of a point. how has it taken SOOOO long for someone to point that out. thank you!!!!!!
by Troll Man 5000 on 8/30/2008 3:17pm Hey man no need to get trollist. We are a sophisticated species and want to live in peace with humans. People like you make this hard! I expect an apology to the whole troll community for your outrageous comment!!!
by J-Man on 8/31/2008 9:56pm Johnny Cash was one of the best singers in the world and anyone that says difrent need to keep there words to thier words to thier self
by Change the Lyrics on 9/3/2008 5:51pm I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend, I hope it's full of women, 'Cause, I'm tired of fuckin' men, Sorry... I had to.
by Whaa?? on 9/3/2008 6:06pm What happened here?? Looks like your 1st grade teachers only taught you the bad words. I'm assuming no one here has made it passed the 1st grade, huh? Wow... Ignorance is a ugly thing.
by ...funny... on 9/4/2008 8:24pm this is some funny shit... with all of these comments
by BIG L on 9/5/2008 12:18pm This and a boy named sue are solid and make me laugh when ever i hear them "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"
by Travo on 9/5/2008 3:18pm Cash was inspired to write this song after seeing the movie "Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison" while serving in West Germany in the United States Air Force.As for fuck nuts licker he gets 2 much atention,probably that's what he wanted...
by andrea on 9/7/2008 8:24pm I think this is a great song. Not only is it about paying the consequences for the things you do, but it's also about being lonely. This song portrays what it's like to watch life pass you by, and never being a part of it. I think this is a great song, and while people are entitled to their opinions, but you don't have to express them in an ignorant and arrogant manner.
by Pedro on 9/8/2008 9:10am Well, I just began to listen Cash in the past two months and I'm loving! The man and his songs are awesome! Thats why I thank to America. To be able to give the world some of the best musicians and composers of all times. Greetings from Portugal!
by hello on 9/10/2008 3:50am hello
by lodi on 9/13/2008 10:06pm It's a song. It doesn't matter one iota if, when, where, or what for JC was in prison. Although personal experiences lend more to song writing, it rarely is the case. Most songs are just songs from a compilation of reasons or inspirations. The racist stuff is way out there. What's writing about being stuck in a prison got to do with racism?? That's just idiotic and imo likely drug brained anyway.
by The Man on 9/14/2008 7:15pm He/She must have had terrible experience in prison. Go figure,lol
by john on 9/18/2008 11:27am i love this song
by bongggg on 9/19/2008 4:57pm You all everybody is stoopid..Yous dont know how to speel RACIST.
by KingJoe '68 on 9/22/2008 3:53pm this song is the greatest country song ever I don't care what any other person says
by ricko on 9/24/2008 11:55pm awsum song
by Vitos on 9/26/2008 1:47am I just watched "Walk the line" recenly, a movie about Johnny Cash. It is fantastic! I also liked the playing of Joaquin Phoenix and how he performed songs of J. Cash especially his "Get Rythm". I advice everyone to watch that movie. Two thumbs up!
by 14 year old high school student on 9/27/2008 10:50pm you all should be ashamed of your self im a freshmen and i have better grammar then you. your disgusting for having such ridiculous and heinous names. Who the hell raised you. You ruin a perfectly good song by staining my memory of it with your filth. Please do us all a favor and please go and live a productive life that will benefit society as a whole, you pigs.
by J.R. mark 2 on 10/4/2008 1:48pm how on earth is this song racist!! what an eejit! God bless Johnny Cash, R.I.P. American icon and legend.
by The One on 10/6/2008 1:20am I just read all of these comments and let me just say, Entertaining. If you have read this far you obviously are of no importance to anyone and have no significant role to society.....................oh shit............Comment ended due to suicide.
by kayyysayyy on 10/8/2008 8:53pm Racist***for all the idiots who can't spell.
by JD on 10/9/2008 5:30pm I once heard Johnny mention that the comment he most often hears is: My (father, brother, uncle, etc.) was in prison with you. Johnny was never in prison, but he always gave a polite answer so he wouldn't spoil somebody else's story.
by girl who loves johnny cash on 10/12/2008 12:15pm this is an awsome song and all of johnny cash and june carter's songs. Also,I think oldies are the best type of music..you can understand what they're saying, and there are always great stories told within the lyrics. Also the dancing that went along with oldies wasn't so provocative.
by J-Man on 10/16/2008 10:32pm Johnny Cash is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by Ryan on 10/18/2008 2:44pm R.I.P. Mr. Cash
by Peter on 10/23/2008 10:27pm There are a lot of dumb people that post on here. Grammar, people, grammar. It's the most fundamental way to show you aren't a complete fuckhead.
by Random on 10/27/2008 3:28pm Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Mr. Cash comparing Folsom Prison (a high security prison) to the air force/army/whatever he was in at the time? That's how I interpreted it.
by australia on 10/28/2008 6:13am great great bloody great song, almost feel sorry for the bloke... almost.
by australia on 10/28/2008 6:14am i believe the best way to show that your not a fuck head is not to use the term fuck head, fuck head!
by australia on 10/28/2008 6:20am cash interviewed prisoners
by BigDaddyDK on 10/29/2008 7:55am Indeed, Peter is right. After all, it's a well-known fact that proper grammar usage coupled with the words "complete fuckhead" absolutely scream sophistication and intelligence.
by Ricardo on 10/30/2008 9:07pm no saben nada yanquis de mierda lavense el culo antes de opinar
by Whatever ;] on 10/30/2008 10:46pm I can't believe that they let some of you out of your cages, or that they let you near a computer. All monkeys should behave when told to. Here's a banana. Shut up and enjoy the music.
by AmUsEd on 11/1/2008 4:13am My name states it all, Most amusing set of comments ever, especially the overzealous fourteen year old using big words.. and small complicated words.. Very intimidating with his broad vocabulary shudder Props to Johnny, He knew how to incite the mob. Case and point.
by Dave on 11/1/2008 11:36am Johnny CAsh is a stud
by Big Fan on 11/1/2008 12:54pm Johnie was in the air force when he first started writing this song. It was years later that it was perfected. Then he sang it at an auditioned to make a record. It was what the man was looking for and I think we know what happened next.
by Sal Paradise on 11/5/2008 12:33pm I was perfectly happy to let that idiots comments slide as it was clearly written by someone who 'ain't seen the sunshine since, i don't know when.' infact, regardless of it, it's the responses to the comments that disappointed me, the song may be blatantly absent of racism but this board is jam packed with ridiculous ignorant racist statements. anyway, this is a pretty good song, it reminds me of the concept from leadbelly's midnight special; both great examples of the blues.
by Martin on 11/6/2008 11:28am Maybe that this song isn't racist but Johnny sure was racist--ever heard his song "ship those niggers back".thats how it goes:send those apes back to the trees, ship those niggers back ship those niggers back... Deceiving isn't it.
by Sol on 11/6/2008 11:46am Excuse me "Peter on 10/23/2008 10:27pm" not everyone has to be good at grammar. Fuckin fuckhead yourself. Or.. Actually I dont care, because im a norwegian, so i dont have to be good in English grammar
by Rascist is Nigger not Folsom on 11/9/2008 4:46pm The song folsom prison blues as we know is not rascist. It was written by Johnny cash, and no where in this song does it say anything bout a black or white man. So all these dipshits fuck off, just because your black and listen to lil weezy and shit, dont diss the old good stuff. Dumb niggers- THATS RASCIST! pieces of shit...
by Cash fan on 11/10/2008 9:57pm So is he saying "suey" in between versus? Like the call a farmer gives to pigs to eat? I am wondering if it is a reaction to something happening live in the prison. Does any one actually know?
by who gives a fuck on 11/11/2008 2:14pm i cant actually believe all you fucking loser's care, johnny certainly fucking wouldn't, so drop it surely you know there is many retards in the world who like piss people off
by Patrick Cavanna on 11/12/2008 7:04am I love to play and sing this song :D
by this is 2008 on 11/12/2008 7:48pm the term "nigger" is probably one of the most unintelligent things that i think ive ever heard come out of anyones mouth. this is modern times people.
by wow on 11/13/2008 8:32pm i love this song, nuff said
by wow on 11/13/2008 8:32pm i love this song, nuff said
by bemused on 11/18/2008 5:43am I can't believe how many of you are talking about racism just because some pathetic moron says it's racist. Half of the internet is made up of this type of rubbish. Why give these inadequate people any attention? Really, they need to go back to their own parents and deal with their own issues. We can't help them. It is quite depressing that we are talking more about some sad loser and his badly spelled comments, than about a great man like Johnny Cash. P.S: Why are so many people unable to spell properly or write full sentences?
by Bemused on 11/18/2008 5:47am For the student, one other thing you might like to consider, is that Cash was talking about how the rich people on the train carry on riding and how that tortures him. I think he is making a social comment there. I think he is trying to suggest that it is criminal for some people to have so much and others have nothing. I think also, that he might be wondering, how they came to have so much. Maybe he thinks they have committed crimes every bit as bad as his, but got away with it. Just a thought...
by shorty on 11/19/2008 4:39pm why wont all you stupid shut up about johnny cash he is so awesome i have like 10 of his cds so just shut your mouths
by johnny the rasis!!! on 11/21/2008 1:59pm Fuck all of you, it was rasis, and rasins, and resin, and rogain, and rapture, and retentive, and radial. and all of you are retarded, and rasin, and resin, and rogain.....
by youngjohnnyfan on 11/24/2008 1:30pm im only 17 and i understand the meaning of this song. im in love with all of his songs and this song has nothing to do with racism. it has a much bigger meaning behind it.
by just me on 11/24/2008 7:26pm the rasist guy has to be a nigger, not a black man. only niggers will think of something rasist to start trouble.
by K R O M E on 11/26/2008 4:47am This songs a really touching song johnny cash is my idol (: i watched that movie about him called walk the line very good actually not what i expected but yeah not to bad :) this songs really good aswell i like the way his voice drags on its good :) an all the haters go away you guys cant imagine wat hes gone through so just leave him alone an his song at least hes doing something with his life insted going around bad mouthing others ae? get a life you guys
by dmd on 11/26/2008 2:33pm anybody want to put my shweaty balls in their mouth? who cares about apples and oranges if you're not going to eat them.
by yup... on 11/27/2008 4:05am I dont remember who left this comment earlier about who isnt a Johnny Cash fan, or whatever, but if you were a true Johnny Cash fan, you would know that it wasnt him who sang "ship those niggers back" it was Johnny REBEL. Big difference, so know your facts before you attempt to state them. That song is vile, and ignorant, disgusting lyrics in any form of music.
by Patti on 11/28/2008 12:57am Hahaha why is everyone so pissed? Johnny Cash is the mannnnn.
by Lonesomewistle on 11/29/2008 7:05am Johnny Cash is the man!
by uhm.... on 11/30/2008 11:58pm so i just heard this song for the first time ever. and while i am fully aware that a person, such as johnny cash, could have been racist at the time, i find it impossible to fathom that this is a racist song. and yes. i think we are all aware of the stupidity of some of these comments, but i just did a social justice assignment on literacy in our society. i can understand misspelling of words, poor grammar, et cetera. but what bothers me most about this comment is that the majority of the people commenting feel the need to give a retort. i guess im hypocritical for leaving a comment myself. but i believe this point has already been talked to death. resurrected. and killed again. its a good son, though i dont think its "the greatest" nice though =)
by get a grip!! on 12/2/2008 12:19pm Don't pick apart a classic.. DUMB DUMB!!! You nuts belong in Folsom Prision! ALWAYS Something to do with race. Give it a break don't we have a black President to top off your oppressed raciest world!! Bringon some N.W.A. then we'll talk raciest! Dumb Dumb!!!
by Rebel Yell~~ on 12/2/2008 12:42pm He was from the OLD SOUTH!!! Of course he was a racist.. The only KING there is was born in Memphis...Not Killed!! OOH is that Racist?? Sorry.. :(
by Jayzee on 12/2/2008 7:29pm Racist. That's how it's spelt, I believe. Anyway, what I think is that you guys shouldn't spend your time discussing that moron...pardon the name calling, and just stick to what the real topic is--what a awesome song Johnny Cash wrote. =D
by umm okay on 12/4/2008 10:22pm Racist to whom? Wow, that's pretty dumb. Oh, and thank you to everyone who spelled racist correctly.
by who cares what people think... on 12/5/2008 1:19pm get over it~
by June Carter Farter on 12/6/2008 7:21pm Perhaps you are all missing the insight that John was just saying he was a son, who was a baby that had a mum, and that made him a son who was once a baby, who grew up to be a man, who unfortunately no longer had a mum, because she died. We all die, however we all don't get to write a legendary song before we do. Be happy for the baby, who was a son with a mum. Woooo woooooo (goes the whistle)
by Erin on 12/8/2008 10:56am Watch "Walk the Line"... even though it isn't 100% true of Johnny Cash's life, it still summarizes it pretty well. As far as the song being racist goes... I guess you have no idea what the meaning of this song is. That's sad that people, who I am guessing are adults, come to conclusions without basing their decisions on facts. I feel bad for you.
by yetanotherjohnnyfan on 12/8/2008 12:51pm Johnny swiped this song from Gordon Jenkins who recoreded "Crescent City Blues" and rewrote it. Jenkins sued and won a settlement, I suspect that's why Johnny was forced to insert "suey!" into all subsequent live performances. It's still a great song but I prefer "Ring Of Fire".
by fuch luts nicker on 12/8/2008 1:59pm this song is racist u retards,, ur minds just arent capable of seeing it
by WOW on 12/9/2008 7:12pm i cant believe i read all those comments, i have no life at all whatever.
by fuck you all :@ :@ on 12/10/2008 9:00am fuck u all haters johnny cash rocks ur mums rest in peace jr don't care bout themm they're all retarded lol this song rocks ur mums
by totally amused on 12/10/2008 6:04pm why is everyone getting so mad about this. if someone thinks its racist then let them think it. you know as well as i do that its not, but if some dumbass out there wants to say it is then let them. quit getting mad, its the internet for christs sake. half of the people on here just say stuff to get a rise outta people dumb enough to respond (ie. YOU) so just leave it alone and he will stop. DUHHH
by GERRY on 12/12/2008 5:58pm i dont get this song... she killed a man wtf.?
by lulz on 12/13/2008 10:37am he shot the man just for th elulz
by bingo on 12/17/2008 5:03pm well u cannot ignore the fact that the legendery Johnny Cash was racist with his song "ship those niggers back" but anyhow as i said this man is legendery and everybody does mistakes in his/her life, otherwise he wouldnt go to jail and he wouldnt do drugs.... but overall, johnny cash had a sad life and his songs are amazinggggg.
by Olive Of The Opera. on 12/18/2008 3:39pm Fantastic song.
by xoxox on 12/18/2008 6:19pm okay, where too start. i think personally, "fuck nuts licker" yu need nothing but a good kick in the mouth. you have a discusting mouth on you, and people like you and all the other wits on here wonder why use get no where in life. its simple, you dont like the song. no one asked for you too get on here and start trouble. i bet you and the other 30 wits think use are so funny, well i got news for use all, use are not funny and no one is sitting back but use, laughing at your above comments. the song is not racist, and use all know it so get over it. to be honest, i think if you had the chance to meet johnny cash, all this shit that you have said would be the last to come out of your mouth about the guy! grow up, none of us NORMAL people want to sit here and read your rubbish. keep it to yourself, and your immture friends! i love the song, and love the guy, his got a heart of gold! xox
by Keb mo' on 12/21/2008 5:13am Keb mo' does a great cover of this song! it awesome youtube it. and that dick fucker guy...dont you have anything better to than be a dickhead that kid is trying to learn and your being a dick! get a life! all this racist shit is retarded!
by batman on 12/29/2008 1:53am look. all i think is this should be a great song because this got that much comments. agree?
by Jonnyrocks on 1/4/2009 1:37am I can't believe that I read all of these comments they were very entertaining; however, I love Jonny and I love this song!!!
by Jaberwoky on 1/6/2009 9:13am it is a great song to those few posters that dont understand the song, its about longing for the unattainable, ie freedom , combined with an understanding of exactly why one cant have said freedom. and to everyone else, nuck futs is obviously just e-venting. planting e-seeds trying to grow e-fruit, and if you think about it his nihilistic post has caused so much discussion between people who might not otherwise have conversed. who's to say it wasnt a good thing? well other than the spelling, grammer, syntax, and a lack of comprehension of Newtonian physics. if you bust a nut in someones nostril its only gonna end up at the Uvula past the soft pallet, EVERYONE knows that :-)
by The Universe on 1/7/2009 1:22am nice song. I never read topics only put my notes. Great soul.
by Mohammad on 1/13/2009 12:12pm So Damn Smart and simple Love this guy love eerything about him.
by Lemons' Juice on 1/16/2009 9:33am Train whistles give me a hard on. What does that mean? Am I a racist now? Or do I have residual feelings about prison? Not all prisons are bad though. Anybody ever see "Caged Heat"? Now, there wasn't a train or anything, but man, those prison chicks were pretty hot. I'd imagine it would be pretty cool to be a hot prison chick with all those other prison chicks, if that was your thing. I mean, if I were a hot chick, I think I would give it some serious consideration.
by shaunflynn on 1/18/2009 6:17pm god bless johnny cash.
by im a dick weed on 1/18/2009 7:13pm fucking hate dis nigger. Yo, guy named whore loving somtin somtin like dat...... i support u. u da bom. ima go to wal-mizzy now.....u fuckfacesssssss
by fuck nuts liker on 1/18/2009 7:15pm look, fuck nuts licker just wants to get attention. he likes to post all this bull too get people pissed off. if he thinks this song is gay he would have never come here!!! !!!!!!!!!!! fucking idiots
by crazymonkey19 on 1/19/2009 12:05am i think its one of the best of his songs, but i still love "a boy named sue"
by Alisha on 1/20/2009 12:09pm First off- everyone needs to learn how to spell the word "racist"...ok? ok... And this song is NOT at all racist, lol... whoever posted that comment is a jerk off. Anyway- I'm 22, and I just love this song. Only complaint about these lyrics: You need to add the part where he yells "Suey!" in between verses 2 and 3. :)
by Lol this is some funny ass shit... on 1/22/2009 8:33pm Hey keep it up wit these awsome remarks, its killin the shit out of me at the momment. haha i cant stop laughin.
by Miss Johnny on 1/26/2009 5:02pm I love the song Viva la vida the johnny cash
by Natalia on 1/27/2009 10:03am No entienden nada, pelotudos
by me on 1/28/2009 8:54pm HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :D
by The Wise Guy on 2/2/2009 7:30pm This is classic. I cant believe ppl keep posting to this. Its just gonna get longer and more painful BUT THATS NOT GONNA STOP ME POSTING hehe. Who cares what that guy said LAST YEAR. I bet he works for the site, posting just to get ppl riled up. Well have fun everyone and dont end up in Folsom Prison..
by Chris on 2/5/2009 5:06pm I Respect peoples opinion, most of the time, but if you have a problem with this song you need to have something done about your fucking ears.
by The know it all on 2/10/2009 10:54am Love the song, is very deppresed if you heard it.
by ... on 2/11/2009 8:28am It amazes me how the majority of the people that have posted in these comments continue to disregard 95% of the posts in this section. Most of you have repeated the same thing over and over again, rather than commenting on this beautiful song. So, in reality the ones who only consider writing a comment to acknowledge the first few comments are worse than "Fuck Nuts Licker".
by Morrison on 2/14/2009 4:48pm I think Johnny Cash is awesome, man (Even though he died in 2003, his spirit still lives on through his music) And if you've seen the "Johnny Cash Show" on DVD, you'll see that he helped break racist tensions by breaking down the barrier and reaching across and pulling people through. He had Ray Charles playing and singing "Ring Of Fire" on piano (which is one of the best songs I've ever heard on guitar OR piano) The guy's a genius, man. He came from being poor, suffering family tragedies, (like with one of his brothers when Johnny was a child.) to becoming one of the best country musicians out there. Without him, the Highwaymen would not have existed too.
by Sidnee on 2/15/2009 6:56pm ok its funny how you all keep talking about it i know im talking about it too but its like "all how speek of fuck nutz licker r just as bad as him" yea and ur talking about it too so shut up
by Sidnee on 2/15/2009 6:58pm i love this song Johnny Cash's voice is so awesome <3 R.I.P Johnny
by furfag on 2/16/2009 8:08pm Yes, it is damn racist song. Johnny, burn in hell, you racist.
by Captain Obvious on 2/19/2009 10:11pm By replying to "fuck nuts licker" you are helping him accomplish his goal. Your pointless reprimands are futile. Way to go, you made all the retarded people look a lot smarter. Everyone who replied to "fuck nuts licker" proved themselves stupider than he is. Bottom line: STOP FEEDING THE TROLL.
by LOL on 2/19/2009 10:12pm I love how it says "We will review your comment..." So apparently they approved all your stupid ass comments including the original ones.
by big al on 2/21/2009 6:37pm this is the greatest song ever written, it's about the true meaning of life.
by fuck nugget on 2/23/2009 9:42pm this is the most hilarious shit i've heard. OK to clarify as I am appointing myself the authority on this matter. 1. Folsom Proson was written while Johnny was in the airforce. 2. His only visits to Folsom Prison were where he played shows there, he never spent a night in Folsom. 3. This song has absolutely no racism theme. 4. However, even though this song isn't racist, here's another that Johnny wrote that is... "Ring that bell. Shout for joy. White man's day is here. Gather all those equals up and herd them on the pier.America for white. Africa for black. Send those apes back to the trees. Ship those niggers back.Ring that bell. Shout for joy. White man's day is here." Ship those niggers back - Johnny Cash
by tinkerbell on 2/24/2009 3:17am to all those people debating on how Johnny was inspired for this song i don't think he was putting himself in anybodies shoes or stuff like that, he was feeling trapped and restricted by the army just as if he was in Folsom prison or some place like that... well thats my opinion but hey no matter what its still a good song...well... good lyrics
by HEY EVERYBODY on 2/25/2009 12:28pm Thanks for filling my day with laughter. This is one of the funniest most ridiculous comment boards I have ever read. Nobel Prizes all around. Genius.
by oxo on 2/26/2009 6:04pm ummm that nut licker guy is a weirdo. And really who cares if the song is racist whick is obviously isnt. There is lots of racist artist out there, with lots of racist songs, I cant name any of hand because it's garbage, but this guy should go on their sites and vent his mental disfunctions there. anywho.. the reason why im commenting is because johnny never was prisoned in folsom prison, he didnt write this song from his own experience...... Johnny Cash Is More Gangster Then You will ever Be Fur Fag And Nut sack Boy.. Go to bed now!
by Better Than some Crazier than Most on 2/27/2009 9:50am People like fuck nuts licker and furfag are prime examples of what happens when fathers and daughters mate. So, do you guys call her mom or sis? This is a great song. Its not a racist song at all. It showed the world what a gifted songwriter The Man in Black was. So much pain an emotion in that song, it almost makes you feel like you are sitting in that cell listening to that train whistle.
by Chris D on 3/1/2009 3:28pm Johnny Cash FTW
by Country Music Fan on 3/4/2009 11:08am I Think Fuck Nuts Licker Is A Complete & Utter Ballbag. Im Sorry But This Specific Track From Mr Cash Is Probibley The Best one He's Done As Well As The Other Obvious Songs He Did. Fuck You, Fuck Nuts Licker Ps. Sorry For The Swear Words But It Has To Be said.
by Wil. on 3/8/2009 10:59pm Johnny Cash didnt actually spend time in Folsom. he did some very minor time for possession. on the other hand, enough with the racism, and the majority of these comments are actually funny and by the way. just to say this.. there is a big difference between Niggers and Black people. although some black people are niggers, also some white, mexican, asian, jewish, etc. can also be a nigger. so if you ask me if i hate niggers. the answer is yes.
by Klansman on 3/9/2009 7:27am I hereby beg forgivness of all the niggers who feel offended by this most racist song imaginable
by Common Sense on 3/12/2009 9:16am �Arguing online is like competing in the Special Olympics�even if you win, you are still retarded.�
by Brannyfield on 3/12/2009 11:12pm Awesome song. Saw Tommy Cash this week in Bognor Regis. man he sounds so much like Johnny. This song was probably the highlight of the hour long set. i cant see how its racist but each to their own.
by Spelling Bee on 3/13/2009 1:45pm You folks need to learn how to spell.
by wtl on 3/17/2009 12:27pm its just walk the line...
by 6th Grade Grammarian on 3/19/2009 5:50pm My, My! Not only can a people not spell, but the language? You also need to capitilize Johnny Cash's name, he is a proper noun. You all should really read "Painless Grammar" by Rebbeca Elliot, it could help you people learn how to actually make a real sentence with a subject and predicate.
by 11 year old on 3/19/2009 5:58pm Y'all need to stop cussing. I really doubt even half of you know what a racist is, since you don't even know how to spell it. Get off your lazy butts and look it up in the dictionary. For all we know, FNL is just some stupid kid like that perv at my school and decided that that comment would make this site popular. Can everyone just cut the crap and move on? Okay, starting next comment, no one is allowed to include any cuss words, or the word racist. I am in sixth grade and this has gone far enough. It's a song written by a guy that was famous, and still is. End of story. Stop getting worked over some eight year old who just figured out the facts of life and decided to share them with everybody.
by jen on 3/19/2009 11:29pm your a fuckin moron the man is dead...what are you gonna do dig him up to shove your puny dick up his nose..get the fuck over it . this song was made way befor eyou . and hint its not about u personally(u couldnt get that lucky)
by i hate niggers!! on 3/26/2009 7:35pm even if this song was racist you wouldn't be able to do anything about it. its a very good song if you understand anything about johnny cash!! And i agree with the one above me there is a difference between niggers and blacks niggers wear their pants to their freakin ankles and shit... I hate all niggers
by unknown lost boy on 4/1/2009 9:26pm I have never heard of J.C. being racist it does not make any sense to say that it is because this song is like an autobiography
by ashamed on 4/5/2009 11:33pm to see so many people mispell racist in one place.
by Cohnny Jash on 4/9/2009 1:13pm Look. Johnny Cash isn't a racist. I'm pretty sure we would all know if he was. It's not like he said he shot a black man in Reno because he hated black people. And please. Cut the shit about hating niggers and all. If you hate them as much as you do, go find a neo-Nazi site or something. It's Johnny Cash for christ' sake. Give him the respect he deserves. Peace.
by LMAO on 4/9/2009 1:22pm Wall-mizzy! HAHAHAHA
by Chevy SS on 4/11/2009 8:55am Johnny Cash is one of my favorite country singers and i dont think he is one bit racist. and as far as im concerned fuck nut can shove his dick up his ass becuse he dosnt know shit about the man in black.
by bamf on 4/12/2009 4:02pm f nuts licker, You are a complete idiot, and ovbiously you have no life because if you hate this song, then why even bother look it up and then right a comment on it acting like it would change something. All you did was just make your self look like a complete dumbass and a hobo so congrats if thats what you really were trying to accomplish.
by racist? u gota b kidding! on 4/23/2009 6:46pm The only ppl who keep racist shit going are the idiots who are always saying..."thats racist"... who the fuck are you to decide what ppl feel,think, say or sing about! c'mon... its 2009- can we not let that OLD ASS SHIT go!

by Good song, dumb person on 4/29/2009 2:22am You know, I'm looking at this nut licker guy, I really feel like he's just f-ing with you guys. Someone with that name and goes to a song that's completely not racist seems to be totally f-ing around just because they are immature kids who have nothing better to do that f with people on the internet on song lyrics. sad. Nonetheless, This song is awesome =)

by Jman on 6/4/2009 11:25am Johnny Cash is THE BEST! ! !
by Annoyed with most people on 6/4/2009 8:49pm At the risk of contradicting myself by writing this comment I wish to express my complete and utter confusion as to why people leave comments on random pages like this. For example "Johnny cash rocks my world!!" left by Springg. And that horse fucker 'fuck nuts licker' leaving ridiculous statements. Get a life all of you, no one gives a fuck what you have to say.
by Melinda Leland on 6/4/2009 8:53pm This site sux! I'm turnin 12 in 15 days, and you guys r just being stupid, fussin over this FNL. U Buttheads! Shut Up about him!
by Glitz on 6/5/2009 6:46am Folsom Prison Blues was written in 1955 (check it out on web) Johnny Cash did ~~not~~ do time in Folsom Prison. I saw the movie I walk the line and I think Vivian got a raw deal. Although I love Johnny and June I still think that Vivian got a raw deal. I think Johnny and June had a very strong love. I heard somewhere that Rosann Cash said the movie protrayed her mother in a bad light---I don't think so. She reacted the way any woman would when her man was straying.
by Crush nutty nigzer on 6/6/2009 11:20pm great song
by crush nutn licser on 6/6/2009 11:22pm best song eva
by real guy on 6/6/2009 11:23pm why would anyone be your hero? admire the play not the player
by Johnny Cash LOVER on 6/12/2009 2:21pm Hey to 5/12/2008, 12:40 am,I am about to cry reading what you wrote so please keep you and your idiotic brain to yourself!
by II year old on 6/12/2009 3:53pm This Comment is for Jen: FYI, I am a girl, so I don't have a .... what you said I should shove up his nose. Second of all, I don't think people should be cussing on the internet, I don't care what any of the Ammendment s have to do with it or if it's a free country. Stupid Imbeciles!
by Johnny Cash on 6/13/2009 9:47pm Fuck nuts licker is right. It is a racist song. Just thought I'd throw my two cents in.
by Bush is racist, not Cash on 6/17/2009 2:47am wait, I apologize, I was wrong, it is a racist song. If you listen to the live versions, in-between choruses Cash says "Jew Jap Nigger Spick, Wop Cracker Coon Gook Mic" LOL!!!!!!!!
by Purple helmeted yogurt flinger on 6/19/2009 5:24am haha,holy shit,i can't believe you little piss ants are actually arguing on the internet,you people say we have no life? look who is arguing a little southern hick who is obviously incoherent to the fact of jr was raised around WHITE not black,if you have a problem with it go fuck a watermelon.
by A Person on 6/19/2009 4:36pm I just gotta say, I don't think even half of you know what a racist is. PooButts!
by Kay-Kay on 6/20/2009 8:16pm Love this song & Cowboy's comment!! The most hillarious thing I've ever heard!
by steven on 6/21/2009 9:36am THis song is not racist, and i was wondering how are you gonna find a dead man.
by P. McCartney on 6/22/2009 2:02pm Love the music and the sound it has. No sense in argueing. Johnny was a beautiful man and i am glad to have met him. All this profanity and nonsense is disrespectful. R.I.P The Late and Great Johhny Cash
by jestartech on 6/28/2009 11:01am johnny cash rocks. I myself like the version from Everlast somewhat better ;o)
by gonzalo on 7/7/2009 6:44pm this song rocks. my guitar teachear is making me lear it. so we can play it. i love it. the solo is aaaawwwwsssooommmm.
by jim on 7/12/2009 9:18pm i love johnny cash!
by Just saying on 7/18/2009 1:13am For those of you who are trying to figure out why Johnny is singing about being in Folsom Prison when he shot a guy in Reno, did u ever stop to think that Johnny traveled from Reno to California and that's where he got his punishment ending him up in folsom prison, cus as most ppl know some musician think differently tan most ppl
by Myself on 7/22/2009 5:25pm Johnny Cash is one of the greatest musicians who ever lived. Even that nigger song isn't that bad. he isn't saying that all blacks should die, just that they should go back to Africa. But anyway, I love Cash!
by jcash big fan on 7/26/2009 3:33pm Ur all full of S---
by jaclyn on 8/1/2009 7:40pm what the fuck! its the internet, if you dont want to see vulger language leave the fucking site, no one is making you stay here. i love johnny cash.
by Concerned Musician on 8/2/2009 11:25pm People, Music was intended to be a form of expression which is created with class and intelligence which today so many people seem to lack. Not only this but music, at least in Johnny Cash's day, was intended for the enjoyment of all ages, and today the radio stations and music sites alike are littered (in my opinion)with the vulgar garbage called music. I was told by a colleague of mine, about the vulgar language used here on this music blog and was quite frankly appalled that someone would disgrace this great musician's talent with such talk. I am in no position to judge this person who uses such a vulgar name but it appears quite obviously to me he has problems that go much deeper than racism. Sir I would request that u find a better outlet for your anger than this site. Thank you.
by God Almighty on 8/6/2009 9:32pm LISTENING TO SOME OF YOU----ONLY SOME----WHINE AND SNIVEL ABOUT 'RACISM', I HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT EVER HAVING CREATED THE UNIVERSE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I THINK I'LL SELL THE WHOLE WORKS AND MOVE OUT OF TOWN.
by ga on 8/13/2009 10:54am i love j cash.
by Artist on 8/21/2009 2:50pm this shit is amusing. honestly who gives a fuck what fnl or whatever he wants to call himself thinks. in reality he is most likely an insecure boy who is fucked up. so get over it. johnny cash isn't ruined over these stupid comments. i've wasted enough time here.
by RCDeVill on 8/21/2009 8:31pm It is hard for me to believe that in this day & age, idiots like fucks nuts are allowed to live and breathe. He comments on something , and though everyone is entitled to thier opinion, he clearly is only either A; crying out for attention, or B; his mom/sister and daddy/brother were inbred themselves and clearly were huffing toxic waste when he was concieved. this song is a classic, written by a man that never finished school and went on to entertain millions across the globe and over 5 decades. His charitable deeds and effort on behalf of our soldiers were well documented and his encouragement to young and inexperienced musicians was well noted. However, if one were to know me, they would be suprised to know that I am a punk rocker and an avid anarchist, so I do not give this comment lightly. Johnny Cash, aka "the Man in Black" was the true father of punk rock. It's an attitude, not a fad or style of music. we miss you Johnny!!!!
by nameless on 8/25/2009 8:33am A great melody with lyrics full of meaning. Thank you for your hard work, JC, and RIP..
by RIP JC on 8/26/2009 2:04pm so i got a question! how the hell is song racist. hey fuck nuts tell me...how is this song racist? this is one of Johnny Cash best song! i love this song!
by RE: RIP JC on 8/27/2009 5:09pm to RIP JC and FNL How do people come up with F*** ? What kind of word is that ? Since when do people use such a language ? I mean... Really.
by RE: When this song was written on 9/1/2009 5:28pm To the people trying to figure out when 'Folsom Prison Blues' was wrote by Johnny Cash. . . He wrote it while he was in the Air Force and stayed at folsom for a little while. If you'd ever watched " Walk The Line" . . . you'd find out. !! D U H !!
by Tom on 9/2/2009 12:32am Hey Mr. Administrator/Web Master, how about removing some of these awful postings. Johnny Cash was a great American Musical icon.
by grace on 9/5/2009 6:58pm great song...great artist...great time when ppl like johnny cash used to entertain us....god bless your soul johnny
by somebody on 9/17/2009 10:30pm how is jonny's song racist far as i know i thout the song was about prison and i think the song was great and i know almost all his song and every body that don't like him dosent haft to be on this website or on any othr
by somebody agian on 9/17/2009 10:38pm i pressed the wrong button but anyway they don't haft to be on any other website jonnycash is one of the best singer and he rocks
by i have a life.. on 9/18/2009 9:45pm Ya I was looking up lyrics on my phone for a facebook status.. And it took forever to load so I looked at this.. So I am putting my 2 cents in.. You are all retards who have no lifes.. Get out and play a sport you are all nerds
by I'm on a boat on 10/1/2009 7:40pm Everyone who thinks this song is racist dosen't know shit. Y'all can suck my dick
by hahahaa on 10/1/2009 8:19pm this fuck nuts guy just wants attention, its kind of funny. Obviously the song isn't racist.
by Not Yo Mamma on 10/2/2009 6:33am I have to admit that I'm a bit impressed that this "fuck nuts licker" has managed to get some obviously polite and upstanding individuals to write things like "fuck", "nuts" and "licker" on the internet, when they would probably otherwise never use such language. Whoever this person may be, he's very creative and has acheived prolific results with his social experiment. I would suggest that we give the boy a chance to finish puberty and direct his creativity towards a more constructive goal. Incidentally, as a songwriter, I believe that Mr. Cash was telling a story about the experience of those who went to Folsom Prison, and not writing autobiographically. It was what he did. It's called songwriting.
by Folsom on 10/9/2009 3:27pm To EVERYONE: Johnny cash was never at Folsom Prison. He watched a video about it while he was in the air force.
by stupid focking people on 10/16/2009 12:22pm Johnny Cash Played at folsom prison you stupid stupid people that were he got the idea for the song he was there and he wrote it shortly after wow shows how much you guys know
by we're not as stupid as you on 10/18/2009 6:10pm um actually.... "Folsom" is right.... He wrote this song before his career even began, and played at Folsom Prison very well into, if not after, his career.
by Fun Bobby on 10/20/2009 1:21pm Next thing you know, somebody's gonna think he wrote "I Walk the Line" after getting pulled over on susp of DUI! He did write Folsom while in the service, Live at Folsom Prison was recorded at said prison, so he must have been there! The movie may have ended with around Live at Folsom, but his career thrived for over 30 more years! Ah man, I forgot to swear!
by I live in Folsom on 10/22/2009 10:06am johnny Cash never served time in Folsom prison, he PLAYED a concert at Folsom prison!!! And I never heard before of Johnny Cash, 'cause I moved from Russia and live only over a year in Folsom. But I know that, morons! damn, here a lot of comments posted just make you mad, people! Ignore it!
by Sol on 10/22/2009 10:00pm YHBT YHL HAND. I love the internet, only here can a mass of people be infuriated by such an obvious troll. A "troll" ladies and gentlemen is when someone posts an obscene comment in order to provoke certain reactions. In this case the reaction that was provoked was anger, hate, and utter disdain for the original poster.
by republicanking on 10/26/2009 7:36pm What a bunch of morons writing shit on this site, dumb fucking rednecks that cannot read, write or spell.
