Lyrics:
I was ridin' No. 9Heading south from CarolinaI heard that lonesome whistle blowI've got in trouble, I had to roamLeft my girl and I left my homeI heard that lonesome whistle blowJust a kid actin' smartI went and broke my darlin' heartI guess, I wasI was too young, too young to knowThey took me off the Georgia MainLocked me to a ball and chainI heard that lonesome whistle blowAll alone I bear the shameI'm a number not a nameI heard that lonesome whistle blowI'll be locked here in this cellTill my body's just a shellI heard that lonesome whistle blowJust a kid actin' smartI went and broke my darlin' heartI guess, I wasI was too young, too young to knowI'll never see that girl of mineI'm in Georgia, doin' timeI heard that lonesome whistle blowI heard that lonesome whistle blowHeard that lonesome whistle blow
