I was riding number nine Heading south from caraloine I heard that lonesome whistle blow I got in trouble had to roam I left my gal an' left my home I heard that lonesome whistle blow Just a kid actin' smart I went and broke my darling'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 an' cry When that evenin' train goes by I heard that lonesome whistle blow I'll be locked here in this cell Till my body's just a shell SongtexteAn' my hair turns whiter than snow I'll never see that gal of mine I'm in georgia doin' time I heard that lonesome whistle blow Aus Songtexte Mania
