INTRO
D7 G D
I was ridin' No. 9, headin' South from Caroline,
A D
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
D7 G D
I didn't trouble, had to roam, left my girl and left my home.
A D
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
G
Just a kid acting smart,
D
I went and broke my darlin's heart.
A
I guess I was too young to know.
D D7
They took me off the Georgia main,
G D
Locked me to a ball and chain.
A D A D
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
D7 G D
All alone I bear this shame, I'm a number not a name,
A D
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
D7 G D
All I do is sit and cry when the evenin' train goes by,
A D
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
G
I'll be locked here in this cell,
D
'Til my body's just a shell
A
And my hair turns whiter than snow.
D D7
I'll never see that gal of mine,
G D
Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time.
A D
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
