I was ridin' No 9 heading south from CarolineI heard that lonesome whistle blowGot in trouble had to roam left my gal and left my homeI heard that lonesome whistle blowJust a kid acting smart I went and broke my darling's heartI guess I was too young to knowThey took me off to Georgia Main locked me to a ball and chainI heard that lonesome whistle blowAll alone I bear the shame I'm a number not a nameI heard that lonesome whistle blowAll I do is sit and cry when the evening train goes byI heard that lonesome whistle blowI'll be locked here in this cell till my body's just a shellAnd my hair turns whiter than the snowI'll never see that gal of mine Lord I'm in Georgia doing timeI heard that lonesome whistle blow From Letras Mania
