[Intro]
G D G
[Verse]
G I was ridin' Number Nine, C G Headin' south from Caroline. G D G I heard that lonesome whistle blow. G Got in trouble, had to roam, C G Left my gal an' left my home. G D G I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
[Verse]
C Just a kid, actin' smart, G I went and broke my darling's heart, D 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. G D G I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
[Instrumental]
G D G
[Verse]
G All alone I bear the shame, C G I'm a number, not a name. G D G I heard that lonesome whistle blow. G All I do is sit an' cry C G When the evenin' train goes by. G D G I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
[Verse]
C I'll be locked here in this cell G Till my body's just a shell D An' my hair turns whiter than snow. G I'll never see that gal of mine. C G Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time. G D G I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
