Jimmie Davis

      C
I was riding number 9,
        F          C
heading south from Carolina.
                G               C
I heard that lo-onesome whistle blow.

Got in trouble, had to roam,
        F             C
left my girl, left my home.
                G               C
I heard that lo-onesome whistle blow.

       F
Just a kid, acting smart,
           C
I went and broke my baby's heart.
