(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle

Hank Williams, Jimmie Davis

[Verse 1]
He was riding number nine
Heading south from Caroline
He heard that lonesome whistle blow
Got in trouble had to roam
Left his gal and left his home
He heard that lonesome whistle blow

[Chorus]
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 lonesome whistle blow

[Verse 2]
All alone he bears the shame
He's a number not a name
Hе heard that lonesome whistlе blow
All he does is sit and cry
When the evening train goes by
He heard that lonesome whistle blow

[Chorus]
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 lonesome whistle blow
