(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle Blow (Live) - Bob Dylan

Written by：Jimmie Davis/Hank Williams

I was ridin' number nine

Headin' south from Caroline

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I got in trouble had to roam

Left my girl and left my home

I heard that lonesome 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 the Georgia Main

They locked me to a ball and chain

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

All I do is bear the shame

I'm a number not a name

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I'll be locked here in this cell

Till my body's just a shell

And my hair turns whiter than snow

I'll never see that girl of mine

'Cause I'm in Georgia doin' time

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

I'll be locked here in this cell

'Til my body's just a shell

And my head turns whiter than snow

I'll never see that girl of mine

'Cause I'm in Georgia doing time

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

All I do is sit and cry

As the evening train goes by

I heard that lonesome 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 that Georgia Main

Locked me to a ball and chain

I heard that lonesome whistle blow
