(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle Blow

I was ridin' number nine\nHeadin' south from Caroline\nI heard that lonesome whistle blow\nI got in trouble, had to roam\nLeft my gal and my home\nI heard that lonesome whistle blow\nJust a kid acting smart\nI went and broke my darlin’s heart\nI guess I was to young to know\nThey took me off the Georgia main\nLocked me to a ball an' chain\nI heard that lonesome whistle blow\nAll alone I bear the shame\nI’m a number, not a name\nI heard that lonesome whistle blow\nAll I do is sit an' cry\nWhen that evening train goes by\nI heard that lonesome whistle blow\nI’ll be locked here in this cell\n'Til my body’s just a shell\nAnd my hair turns whiter than snow\nI’ll never see that gal of mine\nI’m in Georgia doin' time\nI heard that lonesome whistle blow
