Lonesome Whistle
by Stonewall Jackson
written by Jimmie Davis & Hank Williams
C
I was riding number nine
F C
Heading south from Caroline
G7 C
I heard that lone-some whistle blow
Got in trouble had to roam
F C
Left my friends left my home
G7 C
I heard that lone-some whistle blow
F
Just a kid acting smart
C
I went and broke my darlings heart
G7
I guess I was too young to know
C
They took me off the Georgia Main
F C
Locked me to a ball and chain
G7 C
I heard that lone-some whistle blow
All alone I bear the shame
F C
I'm a number not a name
G7 C
I heard that lone-some whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry
F C
When the evening train goes by
G7 C
I heard that lone-some whistle blow
F
I'll be locked here in this cell
C
Until my body's just a shell
G7
And my hair turns whiter than snow
C
I'll never see that gal of mine
F C
Lord I'm in Georgia doing time
G7 C
I heard that lone-some whistle blow
