lonesome whistle

Lyrics

i was ridin' no 9 headin' south from caroline, i heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow, got in trouble had to roam i left my gal and left my home, i heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow. just a kid acting smart i went and broke my darling's heart, i guess i was too young to know, they took me off that georgia main locked me to a ball and chain, i heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow. all alone i bear the shame, i'm a number not a name, i heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow, all i do is sit and cry when the evening train goes by, i heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow. i'll be locked here in this cell till my body's just a shell, and my hair turns whiter than snow, i'll never see that gal of mine, i'm in georgia doing time, i heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow.
