I Heard That Lonesome Whistle — текст песни (Stonewall Jackson)

I was ridin` No 9 headin` south from Caroline
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow
Got in trouble had to roam I left my friends and left my home
I heard that lone-vow-vow-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 to Georgia Main they locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow
[ fiddle ]
All alone I bear the shame I`m a number not a name
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry when that evening train goes by
I heard that lone-vow-vow-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-vow-vow-some whistle blow
