I was riding number nine [A] heading south for [E]
Caroline
I heard that _ [B] long _ whistle blow _ _
[E] _ Got in trouble, had [E] to roam
Left my [A] gal, [E] left my home
I heard that _ [B] long whistle [E] blow
Just _ _ [A] a kid acting smart
I went [E] and stole my woman's heart
I guess I was too young [B] to know _
_ They took [E] me off that [Bm] Georgia main
[A] Tied me to a [E] ball and chain
I heard that long _
[B] _ whistle [E] blow _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _

[Em] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ All alone I bear the shame
[A] I'm a [E] number, not a name
I heard that _
[B] _ lonesome [E] whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry
[A] When the evening train [E] goes by
I heard that _ _
[B] _ lonesome [E] whistle blow
_ _ [A] I'll be locked here in this cell
[E] Till my body's just a shell
And my hair turns white early [B] snow _
_ _ [E] I'll never see that gal of mine
[A] I'm in Georgia [E] doing time
I heard that _ _
[B] _ lonesome [E] whistle blow _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _

[B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] I'll be locked here in this cell
[E] Till my body's just a shell
And my hair turns white _ [B] [E] early snow
[B] I'll [E] never see that [Bm] gal of mine
[A] I'm in Georgia [E] doing time
I heard that _ _
[B] _ lonesome [E] whistle blow _
_ _ I'll never see that gal of mine
[A] I'm in Georgia [E] doing time
I heard that _ _
[B] _ lonesome [A] whistle blow _
