[D]INTR[A]O[D]
I was ridin' No. [D7]9, headin' [G]South from Caro[D]line,
I heard that lo[A]nesome whistle [D]blow.
I didn't trouble, had to [D7]roam, left my [G]girl and left my [D]home.
I heard that lo[A]nesome whistle [D]blow.
Just a [G]kid acting smart,
I went and [D]broke my darlin's heart.
I guess I was too young to [A]know.
They took me [D]off the Georgia [D7]main,
Locked me [G]to a ball and ch[D]ain.
I heard that lo[A]nesome whistle [D]blow.[A][D]
All alone I bear this [D7]shame, I'm a [G]number not a [D]name,
I heard that lo[A]nesome whistle [D]blow.
All I do is sit and [D7]cry when the [G]evenin' train goes [D]by,
I heard that lo[A]nesome whistle [D]blow.
I'll be [G]locked here in this cell,
'Til my [D]body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than [A]snow.
I'll never [D]see that gal of [D7]mine,
Lord, I'm in [G]Georgia doin' [D]time.
I heard that lo[A]nesome whistle [D]blow.
