Lyrics:

[Chorus]
Number nine, number nine, took my baby up the line
Number nine, number nine, took my baby up the line
When I hear that lonesome whistle, lord, I just can't help from cryin'

[Verse 1]
My baby left early one morning, she didn't even say goodbye
Everytime I hear that whistle, tears fall from my eyes

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
At night I wake up screamin', my pillow's soakin' wet
I keep hearin' that lonesome whistle, I can not forget
I'm walkin' around in circles, I don't know what to do
I'm so broken hearted, I'm so doggone blue

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Gonna work hard every day, gonna save up all my pay
I'm goin' to the railroad station, and get on my way

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Blow, blow lonesome whistle, I gotta find that gal of mine
Blow, blow lonesome whistle, I gotta find that gal of mine
