(i Heard That) Lonesome Whistle Lyrics - Hank Williams Jr.

I was ridin' No 9 

Headin' south from Caroline 

I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow 

I got in trouble had to roam 

Left my gal and left my home 

I heard that lone-vow-vow-some 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 to Georgia Main 

They locked me to a ball and chain 

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 

All I do is bear the shame 

I'm a number not a name 

I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow 

I'll be locked here in this cell 

Til my body's just a shell 

And my hair turns whiter than snow, oh Lord

I'll never see that gal of mine 

I'm in Georgia doing time 

I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow 

I'll never see that gal of mine...
