I was riding number 9
heading south from Carolina
I heard that lo-onesome whistle blow
Got in trouble, had to roam
left my girl, left my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Just a kid, acting smart
I went and broke my baby's heart
I guess I was too young to know
They took me off that Georgia Main
And locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry
As the evening 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 head turns whiter than snow
I'll never see that girl of mine
'Cause I'm in Georgia doing time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I'll be locked here in this cell
'Til my body's just a shell
And my head turns whiter than snow
I'll never see that girl of mine
'Cause I'm in Georgia doing time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
