I was ridin' No 9 headin' 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
|
[ steel ]
|
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
|
