(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle

Words and music : Hank Williams.

Gene interprétait ce titre régulièrement sur scène en 1969/1970.

Lyrics (by Gene) :
I was ridin' Number Nine
Headin' south from Caroline
Heard that lonesome whistle blow
They took me off the Georgia Main
Put me to a ball and chain
Heard that lonesome whistle blow

I was just a kid acting smart
I went and broke my darling's heart
I knew I was too young right from the start
They took me from Georgia Line
Put me way on far behind
Heard that lonsome wiistle blow

The Georgia Line is a mean old line
And Lord its quite a long line
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I was just a kid acting smart
I went and broke my darling's heart
You know how it is
I guess I was too young to know right from the start
They took me from the Georgia Line
Put me to a ball and chain
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

Original lyrics by Hank Williams :
I was ridin' Number Nine
Headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Got in trouble, had to roam
Left my gal an' left my home
I heard that lonesome 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 the Georgia Main,
Locked me to a ball and chain.
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

All alone I bear the shame
I'm a number, not a name
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All I do is set an' cry
When the evenin' train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blow

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