I Hear That Lonesome Whistle

I Hear That Lonesome Whistle - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

Written by：Jimmie Davis/Hank Williams

I was riding number nine

Heading south from caroline

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I got in trouble had to roam

I left my gal an' left my home

I heard that lonesome 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

All alone I bear the shame

I'm a number not a name

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

All I do is sit an' cry

When the evening train goes by

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I'll be locked here in this cell

'Till my body's just a shell

An' my hair turns whiter than snow

I'll never see that gal of mine

I'm in georgia doing time

I heard that lonesome whistle blow
