  • Lonesome Whistle by Hank Snow Lyrics



    I was ridin' Number Nine
    Headin' 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 actin' smart
    I went and broke my darlin'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 ev'ning train goes by
    I heard that lonesome whistle blow

    I'll be locked here in this cell
    'Til 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, doin' time
    I heard that lonesome whistle blow
