I Heard That Lonesome Whistle

[00:07.38] I was riding Number Nine
[00:11.81] Heading south from Caroline
[00:15.44] I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
[00:23.62] I got in trouble, had to roam
[00:27.21] I left my gal and left her home
[00:30.86] I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
[00:38.96] Just a kid, acting smart
[00:42.65] I went and broke my darling's heart
[00:46.31] I guess I was too young to know
[00:54.37] They took me off the Georgia Main
[00:57.92] Locked me to a ball and chain
[01:01.69] I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
[01:08.38]
[01:17.63] All alone I bear the shame
[01:21.23] I'm a number, not a name
[01:24.97] I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
[01:33.09] All I do is sit and cry
[01:36.60] When the evening train goes by
[01:40.21] I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
[01:48.42] I'll be locked here in the cell
[01:52.12] 'Till my body's just a shell
[01:55.60] And my hair turns whiter than snow
[02:01.75]
[02:03.79] I'll never see that gal of mine
[02:07.36] I'm in Georgia doing time
[02:11.96] I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
[02:17.45]
