(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle - Bob Dylan
I was riding Number 9
Heading south from Caroline
He heard that long lonesome whistle blow
I Got in trouble, had to roam
I Left his gal and left his home
I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
Just a kid, acting smart
I went and broke his darling's heart
I guess he was too young to know
They took him off the Georgia Main
Locked him to a ball and chain
I heard that long lone some whistle blow
All alone he bears the shame
I'm a number, not a name
I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
I'll be locked here in this cell
Till my body's just a shell
An' my hair turns whiter than snow
I'll never see that gal of mine
I'm in Georgia, doin' time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I'll be locked there in this cell
'Til my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow
I'll never see that gal he pines
I'm in Georgia doing time
I heard that long lonesome whistle blow
All I do is sit an' cry
When that evenin' train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Just a kid, actin' smart
I went and broke my darling'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
