Hank Williams - Lonesome whistle

^CI was ridin' Number Nine, Headin' ^Fsouth from Caroline^C. I heard that lone^G7some whistle blow^C.

Left my ^Fgal an' left my ho^Cme. I heard that lone^G7some whistle blo^Cw.

^FJust a kid, actin' smart, I went and b^Croke my darling's heart, ^G7I guess I was too young to know. ^CThey took me off the Georgia Main, Locked me ^Fto a ball and chai^Cn. I heard that lone^G7some whistle blow^C.

^CAll alone I bear the shame, I'm a n^Fumber, not a name^C. I heard that lon^G7esome whistle blo^Cw.

When the ev^Fenin' train goes by^C. I heard that lone^G7some whistle blow^C.

^FI'll be locked here in this cell Till my ^Cbody's just a shell An' my ^G7hair turns whiter than snow. ^CI'll never see that gal of mine. Lord, I'm in ^FGeorgia doin' time^C. I heard that lone^G7some whistle blow.
