Lyrics I Heard That Lonesome Whistle - Johnny Cash & The Tennessee Two
I
was
riding
number
nine
Heading
South
from
Caraloine
I
heard
that
lonesome
whistle
blow
I
got
in
trouble,
had
to
roam
I
left
my
gal
an'
left
my
home
I
heard
that
lonesome
whistle
blow
Just
a
kid,
actin'
smart
I
went
and
broke
my
darling'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
an'
cry
When
that
evenin'
train
goes
by
I
heard
that
lonesome
whistle
blow
I'll
be
locked
here
in
this
cell
Till
my
body's
just
a
shell
An'
my
hair
turns
whiter
than
snow
I'll
never
see
that
gal
of
mine
I'm
in
Georgia,
doin'
time
I
heard
that
lonesome
whistle
blow
