[Verse 1]
G
I was ridin' Number Nine
      C              G
Goin' south from Caroline
                  D                G
I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow
         G
I got in trouble, had to roam
        C               G
Left my gal and left my home
                  D                G
I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow
 
 
[Verse 2]
       C
Just a kid actin' smart
           G
I went an' broke my darlin's heart
              A7           D7
I guess I was too young to know
             G
They took me off the Georgia Main
          C             G
Locked me to a ball and chain
                  D                G
I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow

[Verse 3]
G
All alone I bear the shame
      C            G
I'm a number not a name
                  D                G
I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow
      G
All I do is sit and cry
          C                  G
While the evenin' train goes by
                  D                G
I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow
 
[Verse 4]
G       C
I'll be locked here in this cell
        G
Till my body's just a shell
                  A7          D7
And my hair turns whiter than snow
           G
I'll never see that gal of mine
              C             G
'Cause I'm in Georgia doin' time
                  D                G
I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow
 
[Outro]
                  D                G
I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow
                  D                G
I heard that lo-o-o-nesome whistle blow
