Benmont Tench - Duquesne Whistle lyrics

Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowin' Blowin' like it's gonna sweep my world away I'm gonna stop in Carbondale and keep on going That Duquesne train gonna ride me night and day You say I'm a gambler, you say I'm a pimp But I ain't neither one Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowin' Sound like it's on a final run Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowin' Blowin' like she never blowed before Blue light blinking, red light glowin' Blowin' like she's at my chamber door You smiling through the fence at me Just like you always smiled before Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowin' Blowin' like she ain't gonna blow no more Can't you hear that Duquesne whistle blowin' Blowin' like the sky's gonna blow apart You're the only thing alive that keeps me goin' You're like a time bomb in my heart I can hear a sweet voice gently calling Must be the Mother of our Lord Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowin' Blowin' like my woman's on board Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowin' Blowin' like it's gonna blow my blues away You ole rascal, I know exactly where you're goin' I'll lead you there myself at the break of day I wake up every morning with that woman in my bed Everybody telling me she's gone to my head Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowin' Blowin' like it's gonna k** me dead Can't you hear that Duquesne whistle blowin' Blowin' through another no-good town The lights of my native land are glowin' I wonder if they'll know me next time around I wonder if that old oak tree's still standing That old oak tree, the one we used to climb Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowin' Blowin' like she's blowin' right on time
