I was ridinag number nine |
| [00:12.360] |
Heading south from Caroline |
| [00:16.250] |
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| [00:21.620] |
|
| [00:24.140] |
Got in trouble had to roam |
| [00:27.740] |
Left my gal and left my home |
| [00:31.740] |
I heard that lone some whistle blow |
| [00:37.030] |
|
| [00:39.850] |
Just a kid acting smart |
| [00:43.290] |
I went and broke my darling's heart |
| [00:47.690] |
I guess I was too young to know |
| [00:52.610] |
|
| [00:54.960] |
They took me off the Georgia Main |
| [00:59.000] |
Locked me to a ball and chain |
| [01:02.990] |
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| [01:08.410] |
|
| [01:18.880] |
All alone I bear the shame |
| [01:22.660] |
I'm a number not a name |
| [01:26.690] |
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| [01:32.220] |
|
| [01:34.670] |
All I do is sit and cry |
| [01:38.470] |
When the evening train goes by |
| [01:42.500] |
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
| [01:47.940] |
|
| [01:50.610] |
I'll be locked here in this cell |
| [01:54.310] |
Till my body's just a shell |
| [01:58.330] |
And my hair turns whiter than snow |
| [02:03.680] |
|
| [02:06.260] |
I'll never see that gal of mine |
| [02:10.090] |
Lord I'm in Georgia doing time |
| [02:14.090] |
I heard that lonesome whistle blow |
