Roy Clark - Folsom Prison Blues(live Hee Haw Show Feb 09 1971)

Thank you, my friend CPL Dave Hoover for posting the music video of Roy Clark performing his cover of Johnny cash's song "Folsom Prison Blues" live on Hee Haw TV Show on February 9, 1971.

Folsom Prison Blues written by Johnny Cash
Lyrics
"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 dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
Well, 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 it on 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"

What a talent and a troubled life

I love the song CPL Dave Hoover, but my favorite rendition of this is by Johnny Cash... I do like Roy Clark and Can remember well, his Hee-Haw shows...Roy is a very talented Country and Western artist!!!
