I was ridinag 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 acting smart I went and broke my darling'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 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 snow
I'll never see that gal of mine Lord I'm in Georgia doing time I heard that lonesome whistle blow
