B E B I was ridin' Number Nine, headin' south from Caroline. F# B I heard that lone - some whistle blow. E B I got in trouble, had to roam. I left my gal; I left my home. F# B I heard that lone - some whistle blow. Chorus: E B Just a kid actin' smart, I went and broke my darlin's heart. F# I guess I was too young to know. B E B They took me off in Georgia main, locked me to a ball and chain. F# B I heard that lone - some whistle blow. All alone I bear the shame. I'm a number, not a name. I heard that lone - some whistle blow. All I do is sit and cry when that ev'ning train goes by. I heard that lone - some whistle blow. Chorus: I'll be locked here in this cell till my body's just a shell, And my hair turns whiter than snow. I'll never see that gal of mine. I'm in Georgia, doin' time. I heard that lone - some whistle blow. | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsE  F#  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
