I Heard That Lonesome Whistle(Chords)

	         
    
      C         C7        F              C  
I was ridin' No 9 headin' south from Caroline 
             C        G                C  
I heard that lone-wow-wow-some whistle blow 
         C              C7           F               C 
I got in trouble had to roam left my gal and left my home 
             C        G                C 
I heard that lone-wow-wow-some whistle blow 
 
 
Chorus 1: 
       F                           C 
Just a kid actin' smart I went and broke my darling's heart 
  C                        G 
I guess I was too young to know 
             C              C7                  F             C  
They took me off to Georgia Main they locked me to a ball and chain 
             C        G                C 
I heard that lone-wow-wow-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 
All I do is bear the shame I'm a number not a name 
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow 
 
Chorus 2: 
I'll be locked here in this cell till my body's just a shell 
And my hair turns whiter than snow oh Lord 
I'll never see that gal of mine I'm in Georgia doing time 
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow 
 
I'll never see that gal of mine I'm in Georgia doing time 
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow
