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 
All I do is sit and cry 
When the ev'ning train goes by 
I heard that lonesome whistle blow 

I'll be locked here in this cell 
'Til 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, doin' time 
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
