Stonewall Jackson - I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Lyrics


Stonewall Jackson Lyrics

I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Lyrics
I was ridin' No 9 headin' south from Caroline

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

Got in trouble had to roam I left my friends and left my home

I heard that lone-vow-vow-some 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 to Georgia Main they locked me to a ball and chain

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

[ fiddle ]

All alone I bear the shame I'm a number not a name

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

All I do is sit and cry when that evening train goes by

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

I'll be locked here in this cell until my body's just a shell

And my hair turns whiter than snow

I'll never see that gal of mine Lord I'm in Georgia doing time

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