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 sit and cry When the ev'nin' train goes by I heard that lonesome whistle blow I'll be locked here in this cell Til my body's just a shell And my hair turns whiter than snow I'll never see that gal of mine I was riding number nine Heading south from caroline I heard that lonesome whistle blow Got in trouble had to roam Left my gal and left my home Lyrics to '(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle' by Johnny Cash. He was riding Number 9 Heading south from Caroline He heard that long lonesome whistle blow Got in trouble, had to roam Hear that lonesome whistle blowing In the shadow of a sail The winds are high and the tides are flowing That high ball's rolling down the rail Little redbird in the corner There's a blackbird at the door Lord I know if he should ever cross over The blood would hit the floor So hear that lonesome whistle blowing Hear that engine cough and wine I'll be locked here in this cell till my body's just a shell And my hair turns whiter than snow All I do is sit and cry when the evening train goes by I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow.
