I
was
ridin′
Number
Nine
Headin'
south
from
Caroline
I
heard
that
lonesome
whistle
blow
Got
in
trouble
had
to
roam
Left
my
gal
and
left
my
home
I
heard
that
lonesome
whistle
blow.
Just
a
kid
actin′
smart
I
went
and
broke
my
darlin's
heart
I
guess
I
was
too
young
to
know
They
took
me
off
the
Georgia
Main
Locked
me
to
a
ball
and
chain
I
heard
that
lonesome
whistle
blow.
All
alone
I
bear
the
shame
I'm
a
number
not
a
name
I
heard
that
lonesome
whistle
blow
All
I
do
is
sit
and
cry
When
the
ev′ning
train
goes
by
I
heard
that
lonesome
whistle
blow.
I′ll
be
locked
here
in
this
cell
'Til
my
body′s
just
a
shell
And
my
hair
turns
whiter
than
the
snow
I'll
never
see
that
gal
of
mine
Lord,
I′m
in
Georgia,
doin'
time
I
heard
that
lonesome
whistle
blow
