Johnny Cash - I heard that lonesome whistle

I was ridi^An' Number Nine, headin' south from Caro-lin^De. ^A I heard that lone - some wh^Eistle blow. ^A I got in trouble, had to roam. I left my gal; I left my home.^{D A} I heard that lone - some w^Ehistle blow. ^A Just a kid^D actin' smart, I went and broke my darlin^A's heart. I guess I was too young to know. ^E They took me off in Geor^Agia main, locked me to a ball and chain. ^{D A} I heard that lone - some w^Ehistle blow. ^A

All a-lon^Ae I bare the shame. I'm a number, not a na^Dme. ^A I heard that lone - some w^Ehistle blow. ^A All I do is sit and cry when that ev'ning train goes^D by. ^A I heard that lone - some w^Ehistle blow. ^A I'll be lo^Dcked here in this cell till my body's just a ^Ashell, And my hair turns whiter than snow. ^E I'll never see ^Athat gal of mine. I'm in Georgia, doin' t^Dime. ^A I heard that lone - some w^Ehistle blow. ^A
