Version 1[Intro] D A7 D [Verse 1] D D7 I was ridin' Number Nine, G D Headin' south from Caroline. A7 D I heard that lonesome whistle blow. D7 Got in trouble, had to roam, G D Left my gal an' left my home. A7 D I heard that lonesome whistle blow. [Verse 2] G Just a kid, actin' smart, D I went and broke my darling's heart, A7 I guess I was too young to know. D D7 They took me off the Georgia Main, G D Locked me to her ball and chain. A7 D D A7 D I heard that lonesome whistle blow. [Verse 3] D D7 All alone I bear the shame, G D I'm a number, not a name. A7 D I heard that lonesome whistle blow. D7 All I do is set an' cry G D When the evenin' train goes by. A7 D I heard that lonesome whistle blow. [Verse 4] G I'll be locked here in this cell D Till my body's just a shell A7 An' 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. A7 D I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
