(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle - Single Version
I was ridin' number nine
Headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Got in trouble, had to roam
Left my girl 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 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 evening 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 girl of mine
Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Got in trouble, had to roam
Left my girl 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 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 evening 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 girl of mine
Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
