Hank Williams - Lonesome Whistle guitar chord

(I Heard That) LONESOME WHISTLE

Recorded by Hank Williams, Sr.

Words and music by Jimmie Davis and Hank Williams, Sr.

I was [D] ridin' number nine

Headin' [G] south from Caro-[D] line

I Heard That Lone-[A7] some Whistle [D] Blow

Got in trouble had to roam

Left my [G] gal and left my [D] home

I Heard That Lone-[A7] some Whistle [D] Blow.

1st Refrain

Just a [G] kid actin' smart

I went and [D] broke my darlin's heart

I guess I was too young to [A7] know

They took me [D] off the Georgia Main

Locked me [G] to a ball and [D] chain

I Heard That Lone-[A7] some Whistle [D] Blow.

All alone I bear the shame

I'm a number not a name

I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow

All I do is sit and cry

When the ev'nin' train goes by

I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow.

2nd Refrain

I'll be locked here in this cell

Til my body's just a shell

And my hair turns whiter than snow

I'll never see that gal of mine

Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time

I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow.
