I was ridin' No 9 headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lone-wow-wow-some whistle blow
I got in trouble had to roam left my gal and left my home
I heard that lone-wow-wow-some 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 to Georgia Main they locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lone-wow-wow-some whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry when the evening train goes by
