Lonesome Whistle

Lonesome Whistle - George Jones (乔治·琼斯)

I was riding No 9 heading south from Caroline

I heard that lone vow vow some whistle blow

Got in trouble had to roam

I left my gal and left my home

I heard that lone vow vow some 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 that Georgia Main locked me

To a ball and chain

I heard that lone vow vow some whistle blow

All alone I bear the shame

I'm a number not a name

I heard that lone vow vow some whistle blow

All I do is sit and cry

When the evening train goes by

I heard that lone vow vow some whistle blow

I'll be locked here in this cell

Till my body's just a shell

And my hair turns whiter than snow

I'll never see that gal of mine

I'm in Georgia doing time

I heard that lone vow vow some whistle blow
