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
