I was riding number nine
        F              C
Heading south from Caroline
                  G7           C
I heard that lone-some whistle blow
 
Got in trouble had to roam
        F               C
Left my friends left my home
                  G7           C
I heard that lone-some whistle blow
 
       F
Just a kid acting smart
           C
I went and broke my darlings heart
                           G7
I guess I was too young to know
             C
They took me off the Georgia Main
          F             C
Locked me to a ball and chain
                  G7           C
I heard that lone-some whistle blow
 
 
All alone I bear the shame
      F            C
I'm a number not a name
                  G7           C
I heard that lone-some whistle blow
 
All I do is sit and cry
         F                  C
When the evening train goes by
                  G7           C
I heard that lone-some whistle blow
 
        F
I'll be locked here in this cell
      C
Until my body's just a shell
                              G7
And my hair turns whiter than snow
           C
I'll never see that gal of mine
            F             C
Lord I'm in Georgia doing time
                  G7           C
I heard that lone-some whistle blow
