I was ridin' Number NineHeadin' south from CarolineI heard that lonesome whistle blow
Got in trouble had to roam
Left my gal and left my home
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Just a kid actin' smart
I went and broke my darlin's heart
I guess I was too young to know
They took me off the Georgia MainLocked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All alone I bear the shameI'm a number not a name
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
All I do is sit and cry
When the ev'ning train goes by
I heard that lonesome whistle blowI'll be locked here in this cell'Til my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than the snowI'll never see that gal of mine
Lord, I'm in Georgia, doin' time
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Del Shannon, born Charles Weedon Westover (1930-1995), was an American singer-songwriter and record producer. Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Shannon began his musical career in the 1950s playing in local bands. In 1961, he achieved international success with the song "Runaway", which topped the American charts for several weeks. The song, characterized by a memorable guitar riff and an earworm melody, became a rock 'n' roll classic and continues to be played on radio and at concerts today.
