I Heard That Lonesome Whistle

I Heard That Lonesome Whistle - Hank Williams (漢克·威廉姆斯)

I was riding number nine

Heading 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

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 the Georgia Main

Locked me to a ball and chain

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

Some whistle blow

All alone I bear the shame

I'm a number not a name

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

Some whistle blow

All I do is set and cry

When the evening train goes by

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

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

Lord I'm in Georgia doing time

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

Some whistle blow
