(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle [Acetate version 162] (2019 - Remaster) Songtext
von Hank Williams

He says all he can do is listen to that lonesome whistle blow

I was ridin′ number nine
Headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

Got in trouble had to roam
Left my gal and left my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

Just a kid actin′ smart
I went and broke my darlin's heart
I guess I was too young to know


They took me off the 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

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
Lord, I′m in Georgia doin' time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

There you got it
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
