Текст песни Lonesome Whistle - Johnny Cash

I was riding Number 9
Heading south from Caroline
I heard that long long lonesome whistle blow

I got in trouble, had to roam
I left his gal and left his home
I heard that long long lonesome whistle blow

Just a kid, acting 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 long long lonesome whistle blow

All alone I bear the shame
I'm a number, not a name
I heard that long long lonesome whistle blow

All I does is sit and cry
When that evening train goes by
I heard that long long lonesome whistle blow

I'll be locked there in this cell
'Til my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow

I'll never see that gal I pine
I'm in Georgia doing time
I heard that long long lonesome whistle blow
