Lonesome Whistle

[00:07.93] I was riding Number 9
[00:12.13] Heading south from Caroline
[00:15.58] I heard that long long lonesome whistle blow
[00:23.34] I got in trouble, had to roam
[00:27.70] I left his gal and left his home
[00:31.22] I heard that long long lonesome whistle blow
[00:39.33] Just a kid, acting smart
[00:42.88] I went and broke my darling's heart
[00:46.78] I guess I was too young to know
[00:54.36] They took me off the Georgia Main
[00:58.39] Locked me to a ball and chain
[01:02.14] I heard that long long lonesome whistle blow
[01:13.00]
[01:17.88] All alone I bear the shame
[01:21.57] I'm a number, not a name
[01:25.16] I heard that long long lonesome whistle blow
[01:33.44] All I does is sit and cry
[01:36.36] When that evening train goes by
[01:40.64] I heard that long long lonesome whistle blow
[01:48.41] I'll be locked there in this cell
[01:52.26] 'Til my body's just a shell
[01:56.58] And my hair turns whiter than snow
[02:03.71] I'll never see that gal I pine
[02:07.49] I'm in Georgia doing time
[02:12.06] I heard that long long lonesome whistle blow
[02:20.21]
