I was ridin` Number Nine Headin` south from Caroline I heard that lonesome whistle blow Got in trouble had to roam Left my gal and left my home I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Just a kid actin` smart I went and broke my darlin`s heart I guess I was 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 All I do is sit and cry When the ev`ning 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 hair turns whiter than the snow I`ll never see that gal of mine Lord, I`m in Georgia, doin` time I heard that lonesome whistle blow
