| [00:08.34] |
I was riding number nine |
| [00:12.60] |
Heading south from Caroline |
| [00:16.03] |
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| [00:23.71] |
I got in trouble had to roam |
| [00:27.50] |
I left my gal 'n left my home |
| [00:31.31] |
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| [00:39.14] |
Just a kid acting smart |
| [00:42.77] |
I went and broke my darlings heart |
| [00:46.95] |
I guess I was too young to know |
| [00:55.29] |
They took me off that Georgia main locked me |
| [00:59.91] |
To a ball and chain |
| [01:02.92] |
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| [01:18.40] |
All alone I bear the shame |
| [01:22.40] |
I'm a number not a name |
| [01:26.17] |
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| [01:33.72] |
All I do is sit and cry |
| [01:37.52] |
When that evenin' train goes by |
| [01:41.41] |
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| [01:49.56] |
I'll be locked here in this cell |
| [01:53.16] |
Till my bodies just a shell |
| [01:57.17] |
And my hair turns whiter than snow |
| [02:04.66] |
I'll never see that gal of mine |
| [02:09.04] |
I'm in Georgia doin' time |
| [02:12.77] |
I herd that lonesome whistle blow |
