I was ridin' No. 9 |
|
Heading south from Carolina |
|
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
|
I've got in trouble, I had to roam |
|
Left my girl and I left my home |
|
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
|
Just a kid actin' smart |
|
I went and broke my darlin' heart |
|
I guess, I was |
|
I was too young, too young to know |
|
They took me off the 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 |
|
I'll be locked here in this cell |
|
Till my body's just a shell |
|
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
|
Just a kid actin' smart |
|
I went and broke my darlin' heart |
|
I guess, I was |
|
I was too young, too young to know |
|
I'll never see that girl of mine |
|
I'm in Georgia, doin' time |
|
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
|
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
|
Heard that lonesome whistle blow |
