Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowing Blowing 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 blowing Sounding like it´s on a final move.
Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowing Blowing like she´s never blown before Look like blinking, red light blowing Blowing 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 blowing Blowing like she isn´t gonna blow no more
Can´t you hear that Duquesne whistle blowing Blowing like the sky is gonna blow apart You´re the only thing alive that keeps me going You´re like a tie bound to my hear I can hear a sweet voice gently calling
Must be the mother of our Lord Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowing Blowing like my woman´s on a board
Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowing Blowing like it´s gonna blow my blues away You old rascal, I know exactly where you´re going I´ll leave you there myself at the break of a 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 blowing Blowing like it´s gonna kill me dead
Can´t you hear that Duquesne whistle blowing Blowing through another no good town The lights of my native land are glowing I wonder if they´ll know me next time around I wondered if that old oak tree´s still standing
That old oak tree, the one we used to climb Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowing Blowing like she´s blowing right on time
