(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 |
