Lonesome Whistle - George Jones
Written by:Davis/Williams Sr
I was ridin' No. 9 heading south from Caroline
I heard that lone vow vow some whistle blow
Got in trouble had to roam
I left my gal 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 that Georgia Main locked me
To a ball and chain
I heard that lone vow vow some whistle blow
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 the evening train goes by
I heard that lone vow vow some 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
I'm in Georgia doing time
I heard that lone vow vow some whistle blow
