SONG:   (I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle
ARTIST: Hank Williams & Jimmie Davis

[NC]I was [D]ridin' number nine
[D]Headin' [G]south from Caro-[D] line
[D]I heard that lone-[A7] some whistle [D]blow
[D]Got in trouble had to roam
[D]Left my [G]gal and left my [D]home
[D]I heard that lone-[A7]some whistle [D]blow.

1st Refrain
[NC]Just a [G]kid actin' smart
[G]I went and [D]broke my darlin's heart
[D]I guess I was too young to [A7]know
[A7]They took me [D]off the Georgia Main
[D]Locked me [G]to a ball and [D]chain
[D]I heard that lone-[A7]some whistle [D]blow.

All alone [D]I bear the shame
[D]I'm a [G]number not a [D]name
[D]I heard that lone-[A7] some whistle [D]blow
[D]All I do is sit and cry
[D]When the [G]ev'nin' train goes [D]by
[D]I heard that lone-[A7]some whistle [D]blow.

2nd Refrain
[NC]I'll be [G]locked here in this cell
[G]Til my [D]body's just a shell
[D]And my hair turns whiter than [A7]snow
[A7]I'll never [D]see that gal of mine
[D]Lord, I'm [G]in Georgia doin' [D]time
[D]I heard that lone-[A7]some whistle [D]blow.
