(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle - Single Version

I was ridin' No 9 heading 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 acting smart I went and broke my darling's heart
 I guess I was too young to know
 They took me off to 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 till my body's just a shell
 And my hair turns whiter than the snow
 I'll never see that gal of mine Lord I'm in Georgia doing time
 I heard that lonesome whistle blow
