(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle

D  A  D

D                   D7
I was riding Number Nine
        G              D
Headin’ south from Carolin’
                 A7           D 
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

G
Just a kid actin’ smart
           D
I went and broke my darlin’s heart
                           A7
I guess I was too young to know

             D               D7 (etc.)
They took me off the Georgia Main
Locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

D  A  D

All alone I bear the shame
I’m a number, not a name
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

All I do is set and cry
When the evenin’ train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

        G
I’ll be locked here in this cell
       D
Til my body’s just a shell
                              A7
And my hair turns whiter than snow

           D               D7...
I’ll never see that gal of mine
Lord, I’m in Georgia doing time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
