I Heard That Lonesome Whistle
Lyricist:Jimmie Davis, Hank Williams
He was riding Number 9 Heading south from Caroline He heard that long lonesome whistle blow
Got in trouble, had to roam Left his gal and left his home He heard that long lonesome whistle blow
Just a kid, acting smart He went and broke his darling's heart I guess he was too young to know
They took him off the Georgia Main Locked him to a ball and chain He heard that long lonesome whistle blow
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com All alone he bears the shame He's a number, not a name He heard that long lonesome whistle blow
All he does is sit and cry When the evening train goes by He heard that long lonesome whistle blow
He'll be locked there in this cell 'Til his body's just a shell And his hair turns whiter than snow
He'll never see that gal he pines He's in Georgia doing time He heard that long lonesome whistle blow
