Artist/Band: Hank Williams Jr.
Lyrics for Song: (I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle
Lyrics for Album: Bocephus [1975]



He was riding Number 9

Heading south from Caroline

He heard that long lonesome whistle blow



Got in trouble, had to roam

Left his gal and left his home

He heard that long lonesome whistle blow



Just a kid, acting smart

He went and broke his darling's heart

I guess he was too young to know



They took him off the Georgia Main

Locked him to a ball and chain

He heard that long lonesome whistle blow



All alone he bears the shame

He's a number, not a name

He heard that long lonesome whistle blow



All he does is sit and cry

When the evening train goes by

He heard that long lonesome whistle blow



He'll be locked there in this cell

'Til his body's just a shell

And his hair turns whiter than snow



He'll never see that gal he pines

He's in Georgia doing time

He heard that long lonesome whistle blow
