Snow Hank Lonesome Whistle

ridin' no 9 Heading south from Caroline I heard that lonesome whistle blow Got in trouble had to roam Left my gal and left my home I heard that lonesome whistle

Vertaling: Snow, Hank. Ek het gehoor dat Lonesome Whistle.

Morning sun greets me with the shine I go south when the trade winds blow and I go north where there ain't no snow Ridin' the Atlantic Coastal Line Hear that lonesome whistle

The first thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin' And the youngest dream of growin' up to ride On a freight train leavin' town not knowin

the train, the king of them all The Streamlined Cannonball (Chorus) Oh, she drives along like a cannonball Like a star on its heavenly flight This lonesome sound of the whistle
