Lonesome Whistle Songtext
von Ronnie Hawkins
Lonesome Whistle Songtext
I was ridin′ number nine
Headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lone-lone-lonesome whistle blow
Got in trouble, had to roam
I left my gal and left my home
I heard that lone, lone, 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 put me on the Georgia Main
I looked to a ball and chain
I heard that lone, lone, lonesome whistle blow
Now I'm 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 lone, lone, lonesome whistle blow
Headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lone-lone-lonesome whistle blow
Got in trouble, had to roam
I left my gal and left my home
I heard that lone, lone, 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 put me on the Georgia Main
I looked to a ball and chain
I heard that lone, lone, lonesome whistle blow
Now I'm 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 lone, lone, lonesome whistle blow
