(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle Blow
Lyrics
I was ridin' No. 9 headin' 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 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. (Instrumental) 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 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 snow I'll never see that gal of mine cause I'm in Georgia doing time I heard that lonesome whistle blow...
