INTRO

D7 G D

I was ridin' No. 9, headin' South from Caroline,

A D

I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

D7 G D

I didn't trouble, had to roam, left my girl and left my home.

A D

I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

G

Just a kid acting smart,

D

I went and broke my darlin's heart.

A

I guess I was too young to know.

D D7

They took me off the Georgia main,

G D

Locked me to a ball and chain.

A D A D

I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

D7 G D

All alone I bear this shame, I'm a number not a name,

A D

I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

D7 G D

All I do is sit and cry when the evenin' train goes by,

A D

I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

G

I'll be locked here in this cell,

D

'Til my body's just a shell

A

And my hair turns whiter than snow.

D D7

I'll never see that gal of mine,

Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time.

A D

I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
