(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle [Acetate Version 27] - 2019 - Remaster

We gonna start this morning with a song here
I think it's in one of the best things I ever recorded
I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow

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 that evenin' train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I'll be locked here in this cell
'Til 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

There you got it, a lonesome whistle blow
I heard that lonesome mwah-mwah-mwah
Huh, there you got it
