I was riding number nine Heading south from Caroline I heard that lone-some whistle blow Got in trouble had to roam Left my friends left my home I heard that lone-some whistle blow Just a kid acting smart I went and broke my darlings 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 lone-some whistle blow All alone I bear the shame I'm a number not a name I heard that lone-some whistle blow All I do is sit and cry When the evening train goes by I heard that lone-some whistle blow I'll be locked here in this cell Until 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 doing time I heard that lone-some whistle blow
