I was riding number 9, heading south from Carolina.
C# F#
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.

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

Just a kid, acting smart,
F#
I went and broke my baby's heart.
G# C#
I guess I was too young to know.
F#
They took me off that Georgia Main
B F#
and locked me to a ball and chain.
C# F#
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.

All I do is sit and cry as the evening train goes by.
C# F#
I heard that lo-oonesome whistle blow.
B F#
I'll be locked here in this cell, till my body's just a shell
G# C#
and my head turns whiter than snow.

I'll never see that girl of mine
B F#
'cos I'm in Georgia doing time.
