(i Heard That) Lonesome Whistle Lyrics - Bob Dylan

I was riding number nine 

Heading south from caraloine 

I heard that lonesome whistle blow 

I got in trouble had to roam 

I left my gal an' left my home 

I heard that lonesome whistle blow 

Just a kid actin' smart 

I went and broke my darling's heart 

I guess i was too young to know

They took me off the georgia main 

Locked me to a ball and chain 

I heard that lonesome whistle 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 an' cry 

When that evenin' train goes by 

I heard that lonesome whistle blow 

Photos 

I'll be locked here in this cell 

Till my body's just a shell 

An' my hair turns whiter than snow 

I'll never see that gal of mine 

I'm in georgia doin' time 

I heard that lonesome whistle blow
