Lonesome Whistle — текст песни (Hank Williams)

Recorded by hank williams, sr.

Words and music by jimmie davis and hank williams, sr.



I was [d] ridin number nine

Headin [g] south from caro-[d] line

I heard that lone-[a7] some whistle [d] blow

Got in trouble had to roam

Left my [g] gal and left my [d] home

I heard that lone-[a7] some whistle [d] blow.



1st refrain

Just a [g] kid actin smart

I went and [d] broke my darlins heart

I guess I was too young to [a7] know

They took me [d] off the georgia main

Locked me [g] to a ball and [d] chain

I heard that lone-[a7] some whistle [d] blow.



All alone I bear the shame

Im a number not a name

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

All I do is sit and cry

When the evnin train goes by

I heard that lonesome whistle blow.



2nd refrain

Ill be locked here in this cell

Til my bodys just a shell

And my hair turns whiter than snow

Ill never see that gal of mine

Lord, Im in georgia doin time

I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
