Lyrics

[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
