Lonesome Whistle — текст песни (Hank Snow)

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
