Hank Williams Jr. - (i Heard That) Lonesome Whistle lyrics

rate me

I was ridin' No 9 headin' south from Caroline

I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow

I got in trouble had to roam left my gal and left my home

I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow

Just a kid actin' smart I went and broke my darling's heart

I guess I was too young to know

They took me off to Georgia Main they locked me to a ball and chain

I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow

[ steel ]

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

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...
