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 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

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 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
