Il testo della I heard that lonesome whistle

I was ridin' no 9
Heading 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 acting smart
I went and broke my darling's heart
I guess i was too young to know

They took me off to 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

All i do is sit and cry
When the evening train goes by
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 the snow

I'll never see that gal of mine
Lord, i'm in georgia doing time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
