Lonesome Whistle

G I was ridin' Number Nine C G Goin' south from Caroline D G I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow G I got in trouble, had to roam C G Left my gal and left my home D G I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow C Just a kid actin' smart G I went an' broke my darlin's heart A7 D7 I guess I was too young to know G They took me off the Georgia Main C G Locked me to a ball and chain D G I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow G D G G All alone I bear the shame C G I'm a number not a name D G I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow G All I do is sit and cry C G While the evenin' train goes by D G I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow G C I'll be locked here in this cell G Till my body's just a shell A7 D7 And my hair turns whiter than snow G I'll never see that gal of mine C G 'Cause I'm in Georgia doin' time D G I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow D G I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow D G I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow
