    I’ve sometimes sung this version on group rides:

    “Folsom Prison Bikes”

    I hear those bikes a comin’
    They’re rolling round the bend
    And I ain’t seen the Green Bay Trail
    Since I don’t know when,
    But I’m stuck in Folsom prison,
    And time’s a draggin’ load.
    But those bikes keep a rollin’
    On down to Sher’dan Road

    When I was just a baby
    My mama told me. Son,
    Always wear a helmet,
    and never ride with guns.
    But I stole a bike in Reno
    Just to have a ride
    When I hear a bike bell ringin’,
    I hang my head and cry.

    The first time I saw “Pollyanna,” I didn’t understand what prison they were talking about.

    I like this bit from the movie “Walk the Line”, the movie biography of Johnny Cash:

    Johnny Cash: I got a couple of songs I wrote in the Air Force. You got anything against the Air Force?
    Sam Phillips: No.
    Johnny Cash: I do.

    It’s been more than 50 years since I saw “Pollyanna” but I remember that she had a thing for prisms and the rainbows that they cast.

    Pollyanna was another movie which was barely related to the original book – true of most movies made from books (as I mentioned about “Little Women” and how husband feels about James Bond movies- though he likes many of many of them, but they have little to do with the book – “Dr. No”, the book, was about guano as an example.
