Number nine, number nine, took my baby up the line Number nine, number nine, took my baby up the line When I hear that lonesome whistle, lord, I just can't help from cryin' My baby left early one morning, she didn't even say goodbye Every time I hear that whistle, tears fall from my eyes At night I wake up screamin', my pillow's soakin' wet I keep hearin' that lonesome whistle, I can not forget I'm walkin' around in circles, I don't know what to do I'm so broken hearted, I'm so doggone blue Gonna work hard every day, gonna save up all my pay I'm goin' to the railroad station, and get on my way Blow, blow lonesome whistle, I gotta find that gal of mine Blow, blow lonesome whistle, I gotta find that gal of mine
