| Bob Dylan – Duquesne Whistle Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
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 If one mentions "Duquesne" (read Du Quoin, Illinois) and Carbondale, then this song is historically talking about Amtrak's City of New Orleans (although the train runs are called the Illini and the Saluki today).The train still brings the kids from the city to the woods(Chicago- Du Quoin- Carbondale on to New Orleans). Blues men riding the train in the 20's creating songs on the way. |
