(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle

[00:07.21] I was riding Number Nine
[00:11.72] Heading south from Caroline
[00:15.33] I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
[00:23.59] I got in trouble, had to roam
[00:27.18] I left my gal and left her home
[00:30.77] I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
[00:38.85] Just a kid, acting smart
[00:42.50] I went and broke my darling's heart
[00:46.13] I guess I was too young to know
[00:54.24] They took me off the Georgia Main
[00:57.86] Locked me to a ball and chain
[01:01.59] I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
[01:08.28]
[01:17.58] All alone I bear the shame
[01:21.10] I'm a number, not a name
[01:24.89] I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
[01:32.96] All I do is sit and cry
[01:36.54] When the evening train goes by
[01:40.19] I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
[01:48.39] I'll be locked here in the cell
[01:51.93] 'Till my body's just a shell
[01:55.50] And my hair turns whiter than snow
[02:01.65]
[02:03.66] I'll never see that gal of mine
[02:07.29] I'm in Georgia doing time
[02:11.87] I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
[02:17.36]
