Hank Williams - Lonesome whistle

^DI was ridin' Number Nine, Headin' ^Gsouth from Caroline^D. I heard that lone^A7some whistle blow^D.

Left my ^Ggal an' left my ho^Dme. I heard that lone^A7some whistle blo^Dw.

^GJust a kid, actin' smart, I went and b^Droke my darling's heart, ^A7I guess I was too young to know. ^DThey took me off the Georgia Main, Locked me ^Gto a ball and chai^Dn. I heard that lone^A7some whistle blow^D.

^DAll alone I bear the shame, I'm a n^Gumber, not a name^D. I heard that lon^A7esome whistle blo^Dw.

When the ev^Genin' train goes by^D. I heard that lone^A7some whistle blow^D.

^GI'll be locked here in this cell Till my ^Dbody's just a shell An' my ^A7hair turns whiter than snow. ^DI'll never see that gal of mine. Lord, I'm in ^GGeorgia doin' time^D. I heard that lone^A7some whistle blow.
