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 at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on.
But that train keeps 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 folk eatin' in a fancy dining car.
They're prob'ly 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 on 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

 

 

그의 낭랑한 목소리와 인간적인 호소력이 담긴 매력과 함께 ...

 

But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
리노에서 난 한 사내를 쐈지, 그저 죽어가는 모습을 보려고

When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry
경적이 울리는 소리를 들으면, 고개 숙여 울음을 삼킨다네

 

자니 캐쉬가 분한 이 "폴섬 감옥의 죄수"는 그토록 냉혹할 수는 없었던 것이다.

이처럼 캐쉬가 온갖 저질스럽고 망가진 밑바닥의 삶을 노래하면서도

한시라도 존엄을 잃지 않았던 것은 

 

웅혼한 목소리에서도 이유를 찾을 수 있겠지만,

더욱 중요한것은 그런 척박함 속에서도

항상 믿음, 구원, 희망 등

영적인 끈을 놓지 않고 있었기 때문이아닐까. 웹에서
