(Hank Williams - Jimmie Davis)

I was ridin' No. 9 headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow
Got in trouble had to roam, left my gal and left my home
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow.

Just a kid actin' smart, I went and broke my darling's heart
I guess I was too young to know
They took me off to Georgia Main, locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow.

--- Instrumental ---

All alone I bear the shame, I'm a number not a name
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry when the evening train goes by
I heard that lone-vow-vow-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, Lord, I'm in Georgia doing time
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow...
