Billy Bragg - Lonesome whistle

^GI was ridin' Number Nine Goin' ^Csouth from Caro^Gline I heard that lo-o-^Do-nesome whistle ^Gblow I got in ^Gtrouble, had to roam Left my ^Cgal and left my ^Ghome I heard that lo-o-^Do-nesome whistle ^Gblow

Just a ^Ckid actin' smart I went an' ^Gbroke my darlin's heart I guess I was ^A7too young to ^D7know They took me ^Goff the Georgia Main Locked me ^Cto a ball and ^Gchain I heard that lo-o-^Do-nesome whistle ^Gblow

^GAll alone I bear the shame I'm a ^Cnumber not a ^Gname I heard that lo-o-^Do-nesome whistle ^Gblow All I ^Gdo is sit and cry While the ^Cevenin' train goes ^Gby I heard that lo-o-^Do-nesome whistle ^Gblow

^GI'll be ^Clocked here in this cell Till my ^Gbody's just a shell And my hair turns ^A7whiter than ^D7snow I'll never ^Gsee that gal of mine 'Cause I'm in ^CGeorgia doin' ^Gtime I heard that lo-o-^Do-nesome whistle ^Gblow

I heard that lo-o-^Do-nesome whistle ^Gblow I heard that lo-o-^Do-nesome whistle ^Gblow
