I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow

I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow - Bob Dylan

Lyrics by：Bob Dylan

Composed by：Rudolph Toombs/James Moore/Elson Teat

I was riding number 9

Heading south from Carolina

I heard that lo-onesome whistle blow

Got in trouble had to roam

Left my girl left my home

I heard that lo-onesome whistle blow

Just a kid acting smart

I went and broke my baby's heart

I guess I was too young to know

They took me off that Georgia Main

And locked me to a ball and chain

I heard that lo-onesome whistle blow

All alone I bear the shame

I'm a number not a name

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I'll be locked here in this cell

Till my body's just a shell

And my head turns whiter than snow

I'll never see that girl of mine

'Cause I'm in Georgia doing time

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I'll be locked here in this cell

Till my body's just a shell

And my head turns whiter than snow

I'll never see that girl of mine

'Cause I'm in Georgia doing time

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

All I do is sit and cry

As the evening train goes by

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

Just a kid acting smart

I went and broke my baby's heart

I guess I was too young to know

They took me off that Georgia Main

And locked me to a ball and chain

I heard that lo-onesome whistle blow
