Текст песни Johnny Cash - I Heard That Lonesome Whistle

I Heard That Lonesome Whistle
Johnny Cash
Capo 2nd fret

I was ridin' Number Nine, headin' south from Caro-line.
I heard that lone - some whistle blow.
I got in trouble, had to roam. I left my gal; I left my home.
I heard that lone - some whistle blow.
Just a kid actin' smart, I went and broke my darlin's heart.
I guess I was too young to know.
They took me off in Georgia main, locked me to a ball and chain.
I heard that lone - some whistle blow.

Interlude:

All a-lone I bare the shame. I'm a number, not a name.
I heard that lone - some whistle blow.
All I do is sit and cry when that ev'ning train goes by.
I heard that lone - some whistle blow.
I'll be locked here in this cell till my body's just a shell,
And my hair turns whiter than snow.
I'll never see that gal of mine. I'm in Georgia, doin' time.
I heard that lone - some whistle blow.
