I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow
I was riding number nine, heading south from caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I got in trouble had to roam, i left my gal 'n left my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Just a kid acting smart i went and broke my darlings heart
I guess i was too young to know
They took me off that 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, till my bodys just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow
I'll never see that gal of mine, i'm in georgia doin' time
I herd that lonesome whistle blow
