I was riding number 9, heading south from Carolina.

I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
A D A
Got in trouble, had to roam, left my girl, left my home.

I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
D
Just a kid, acting smart,
A
I went and broke my baby's heart.
B E
I guess I was too young to know.
A
They took me off that Georgia Main

and locked me to a ball and chain.
E A
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.

All I do is sit and cry as the evening train goes by.
E A
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.

I'll be locked here in this cell, till my body's just a shell
B E
and my head turns whiter than snow.
A
I'll never see that girl of mine
D A
'cos I'm in Georgia doing time.

I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.

and my head turns whiter than snow.

I'll never see that girl of mine
