I was ridin' Number NineHeadin' south from CarolineI heard that lonesome whistle blowGot in trouble had to roamLeft my gal and left my homeI heard that lonesome whistle blow.Just a kid actin' smartI went and broke my darlin's heartI guess I was too young to knowThey took me off the Georgia MainLocked me to a ball and chainI heard that lonesome whistle blow.All alone I bear the shameI'm a number not a nameI heard that lonesome whistle blowAll I do is sit and cryWhen the ev'ning train goes byI heard that lonesome whistle blow.I'll be locked here in this cell'Til my body's just a shellAnd my hair turns whiter than the snowI'll never see that gal of mineLord, I'm in Georgia, doin' timeI heard that lonesome whistle blow From Letras Mania
