(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle Blow

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

I was riding number nine

Heading South from Caraloine

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I got in trouble had to roam

I left my gal and 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 and cry

When that 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

And 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
