(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle
I was riding number nine
Going south from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I 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 darling'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 I do is sit and cry
As the 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
'Cause I'm in Georgia doin' time
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
'Cause I'm in Georgia doin' time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Going south from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I 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 darling'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 I do is sit and cry
As the 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
'Cause I'm in Georgia doin' time
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
'Cause I'm in Georgia doin' time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
