[00:07.858] I was riding number nine
[00:11.948] Heading south from Caroline
[00:15.781] I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[00:23.280] I got in trouble had to roam
[00:27.432] I left my gal 'n left my home
[00:31.327] I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[00:39.107] Just a kid acting smart
[00:42.853] I went and broke my darlings heart
[00:47.486] I guess I was too young to know
[00:54.262] They took me off that Georgia main locked me
[00:58.994] To a ball and chain
[01:02.041] I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[01:17.551] All alone I bear the shame
[01:21.205] I'm a number not a name
[01:24.985] I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[01:32.823] All I do is sit and cry
[01:36.743] When that evenin' train goes by
[01:40.538] I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[01:48.366] I'll be locked here in this cell
[01:52.070] Till my bodies just a shell
[01:56.243] And my hair turns whiter than snow
[02:03.590] I'll never see that gal of mine
[02:07.567] I'm in Georgia doin' time
[02:11.563] I herd that lonesome whistle blow

I was riding number nine
Heading south from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I got in trouble had to roam
I left my gal 'n left my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Just a kid acting smart
I went and broke my darlings 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 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 that evenin' train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I'll be locked here in this cell
Till my bodies just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow
I'll never see that gal of mine
I'm in Georgia doin' time
I herd that lonesome whistle blow
