Lonesome Whistle

I was ridin' No. 9 Heading south from Carolina I heard that lonesome whistle blow I've got in trouble, I had to roam Left my girl and I left my home I heard that lonesome whistle blow Just a kid actin' smart I went and broke my darlin' heart I guess, I was I was too young, 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 I'll be locked here in this cell Till my body's just a shell I heard that lonesome whistle blow Just a kid actin' smart I went and broke my darlin' heart I guess, I was I was too young, too young to know I'll never see that girl of mine I'm in Georgia, doin' time I heard that lonesome whistle blow I heard that lonesome whistle blow Heard that lonesome whistle blow
