Lonesome Whistle Lyrics - Hank Williams Jr.

I was riding number nine 

Heading south from caroline 

I heard that lonesome whistle blow 

Got in trouble had to roam 

Left my gal and left my home 

I heard that lone some whistle blow 

Just a kid actin' smart 

I went and broke my darlin'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 and cry 

When the ev'nin' train goes by 

I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

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.
