Version 1
            [Intro]
D A7 D

[Verse 1]
D                   D7
I was ridin' Number Nine,
        G              D
Headin' south from Caroline.
               A7             D
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
                       D7
Got in trouble, had to roam,
        G               D
Left my gal an' left my home.
               A7             D
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

[Verse 2]
       G
Just a kid, actin' smart,
           D
I went and broke my darling's heart,
                               A7
I guess I was too young to know.
             D               D7
They took me off the Georgia Main,
          G               D
Locked me to her ball and chain.
               A7             D    D A7 D
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

[Verse 3]
D                    D7
All alone I bear the shame,
      G             D
I'm a number, not a name.
               A7             D
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
                    D7
All I do is set an' cry
         G                  D
When the evenin' train goes by.
               A7             D
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

[Verse 4]
        G
I'll be locked here in this cell
        D
Till my body's just a shell
                              A7
An' my hair turns whiter than snow.
           D               D7
I'll never see that gal of mine.
             G             D
Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time.
               A7               D
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
