I Heard That Lonesome Whistle lyrics
Song information
Artist: Hank Snow Album: Railroad Man
Lyrics
I was ridin' no 9 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 lonesome whistle blow Just a kid acting smart I went and broke my darling's heart I guess I was too young to know They took me off to georgia main locked me to a ball and chain I heard that lonesome whistle blow [ piano ] 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 evening train goes by I heard that lonesome whistle blow I'll be locked here in this cell till my body's just a shell And my hair turns whiter than the snow I'll never see that gal of mine lord I'm in georgia doing time I heard that lonesome whistle blow
