I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow

[00:07.28] I was riding number nine
[00:11.73] Heading South from Caraloine
[00:15.36] I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[00:23.50] I got in trouble, had to roam
[00:27.17] I left my gal an' left my home
[00:30.78] I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[00:38.81] Just a kid, actin' smart
[00:42.57] I went and broke my darling's heart
[00:46.10] I guess I was too young to know
[00:54.25] They took me off the Georgia Main
[00:57.84] Locked me to a ball and chain
[01:01.55] I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[01:09.25]
[01:17.57] All alone I bear the shame
[01:21.17] I'm a number, not a name
[01:24.84] I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[01:32.97] All I do is sit an' cry
[01:36.57] When that evenin' train goes by
[01:40.18] I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[01:48.33] I'll be locked here in this cell
[01:51.93] Till my body's just a shell
[01:55.58] An' my hair turns whiter than snow
[02:03.66] I'll never see that gal of mine
[02:07.22] I'm in Georgia, doin' time
[02:11.87] I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[02:18.12]
