(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle |
| I was ridin' number nine |
| Headin' south from Caroline |
| I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| Got in trouble, had to roam |
| Left my gal and left my home |
| I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| Just a kid actin' smart |
| I went and broke my darlin’s heart |
| I guess I was too young to know |
| They took me off the Georgia Main |
| Locked me to a ball and chain |
| I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| All alone I bear the shame |
| I’m a number not a name |
| I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| All I do is sit and cry |
| When the evenin' train goes by |
| I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| I’ll be locked here in this cell |
| Till my body’s just a shell |
| And my hair turns whiter than snow |
| I’ll never see that gal of mine |
| Lord, I’m in Georgia doin' time |
| I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
