2nd Fret

I was riding number 9,
F
C
Heading south from Carolina.
G
C
I heard that lo-onesome whistle blow.
Got in trouble, had to roam,
F
C
Left my girl, left my home.
G
C
I heard that lo-onesome whistle blow.
F
Just a kid, acting smart,
C
I went and broke my baby's heart.
D
G
I guess I was too young to know.
C
They took me off that Georgia Main
F
C
And locked me to a ball and chain.
G
C
I heard that lo-onesome whistle blow.
All I do is sit and cry
As 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
And my head turns whiter than snow.
I'll never see that girl of mine
'cos 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
'cos I'm in Georgia doing time.
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
