I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Hank Williams
(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle
[D] [A] [D]
[D]I was riding Number [D7]Nine
Headinâ?[G]? south from Ca[D]rolinâ??
I heard that lone[A7]some whistle [D]blow
Got in trouble, had to roam
Left my gal and left my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[G]Just a kid actinâ?? smart
I went and [D]broke my darlinâ??s heart
I guess I was too young to [A7]know
D D7 (etc.)
They took me off the Georgia Main
Locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
[D] [A] [D]
All alone I bear the shame
Iâ??m a number, not a name
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All I do is set and cry
When the eveninâ?? train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Iâ??ll b[G]e locked here in this cell
Til my [D]bodyâ??s just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than [A7]snow
D D7...
Iâ??ll never see that gal of mine
Lord, Iâ??m in Georgia doing time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
