4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend
Was rid- in'
That num- ber nine
A head-in' south
From Ca- ro- li na
I got in trou-ble
I had to roam
Left my gal and left my home
I heard that lone-sone whis-tle blow
I was just a kid act-in' smart
I went and broke my dar- lin's heart
They took me off the Geor-gia Main
And locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lone-sone whis-tle blow
All a-lone I bear the shame
I am a num-ber not a name
And all I do is sit and cry
The ev-'nin train goes rol-lin' by
I heard that lone-sone whis-tle blow
(Train whistle)
