Duquesne Whistle Lyrics - You Should Be So Lucky - Benmont Tench

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 kill 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
