Johnny Cash - With His Hot and Blue Guitar

I Heard That Lonesome Whistle (feat. The Tennessee Two)

I was riding Number Nine
Heading south from Caroline
I heard that long lonesome whistle blow

I got in trouble, had to roam
I left my gal and left her home
I heard that long lonesome whistle blow

Just a kid, acting 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 long lonesome whistle blow

All alone I bear the shame
I'm a number, not a name
I heard that long lonesome whistle blow

All I do is sit and cry
When the evening train goes by
I heard that long lonesome whistle blow

I'll be locked here in the cell
'Till my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow

I'll never see that gal of mine
I'm in Georgia doing time
I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
