(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle

I was ridin' No 9 headin' south from

Caroline I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow Got

in trouble had to roam I left my

gal and left my home I heard that

lone-vow-vow-some 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 that Georgia Main locked me

to a ball and chain I heard that

lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow [ steel ] All alone

I bear the shame I'm a number not

a name I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow

All I do is sit and cry when

the evening train goes by I heard that

lone-vow-vow-some 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 I'm in

Georgia doing time I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle

blow
