Lonesome Whistle

(I Heard That) LONESOME WHISTLE Recorded by Hank Williams, Sr. Words and music by Jimmie Davis and Hank Williams, Sr. D I was ridin' number nine G D Headin' south from Caro- line A7 D I Heard That Lone- some Whistle Blow Got in trouble had to roam G D Left my gal and left my home A7 D I Heard That Lone- some Whistle Blow. 1st Refrain G Just a kid actin' smart D I went and broke my darlin's heart A7 I guess I was too young to know D They took me off the Georgia Main G D Locked me to a ball and chain A7 D I Heard That Lone- some 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'nin' train goes by I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow. 2nd Refrain I'll be locked here in this cell Til 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 doin' time I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow.
