Spanish Train - Chris De Burgh[00:00:02]
There's a Spanish train that runs between[00:00:19]
Quadalquivir and old Seville [00:00:35]
And at dead of night the whistle blows [00:00:37]
And people hear she's running still [00:00:39]
And then they hush their children back to sleep [00:00:46]
Lock the doors upstairs they creep [00:00:48]
For it is said that the souls of the dead[00:00:51]
Fill that train ten thousand deep [00:00:53]
Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side [00:01:03]
His family were crying knelt in prayer before he died [00:01:07]
But above his bed just a-waiting for the dead [00:01:12]
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye [00:01:15]
"Well God's not around and look what I've found [00:01:18]
This one's mine "[00:01:24]
Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light [00:01:28]
And shouted at the devil "Get thee hence to endless night "[00:01:34]
But the Devil just grinned and said "I may have sinned [00:01:38]
But there's no need to push me around [00:01:41]
I got him first so you can do your worst [00:01:44]
He's going underground "[00:01:48]
"But I think I'll give you one more chance"[00:01:52]
Said the Devil with a smile [00:01:54]
"So throw away that stupid lance [00:01:55]
It's really not your style" [00:01:57]
Joker is the name Poker is the game [00:02:02]
We'll play right here on this bed [00:02:05]
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet [00:02:08]
The souls of the dead "[00:02:11]
And I said "Look out Lord he's going to win [00:02:17]
The sun is down and the night is riding in [00:02:23]
That train is dead on time many souls are on the line [00:02:28]
Oh Lord he's going to win "[00:02:35]
Well the railwayman he cut the cards[00:02:46]
And he dealt them each a hand of five[00:02:48]
And for the Lord he was praying hard[00:02:51]
Or that train he'd have to drive [00:02:54]
Well the Devil he had three aces and a king [00:02:56]
And the Lord he was running for a straight [00:02:59]
He had the queen and the knave and the nine and ten of spades [00:03:01]
All he needed was the eight [00:03:04]
And then the Lord he called for one more card [00:03:07]
But he drew the diamond eight [00:03:10]
And the Devil said to the son of God [00:03:13]
"I believe you've got it straight [00:03:16]
So deal me one for the time has come[00:03:18]
To see who'll be the king of this place [00:03:20]
But as he spoke from beneath his cloak [00:03:23]
He slipped another ace [00:03:25]
Ten thousand souls was the opening bid [00:03:29]
And it soon went up to fifty-nine [00:03:32]
But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did [00:03:34]
And he said "that suits me fine" [00:03:37]
"I'll raise you high to hundred and five [00:03:39]
And forever put an end to your sins" [00:03:42]
But the Devil let out a mighty shout "My hand wins "[00:03:45]
And I said "Lord oh Lord you let him win [00:03:53]
The sun is down and the night is riding in [00:03:59]
That train is dead on time many souls are on the line [00:04:03]
Oh Lord don't let him win "[00:04:08]
Well that Spanish train still runs between [00:04:21]
Quadalquivir and old Seville [00:04:24]
And at dead of night the whistle blows [00:04:27]
And people fear she's running still [00:04:29]
And far away in some recess[00:04:36]
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess [00:04:39]
The Devil still cheats and wins more souls [00:04:41]
And as for the Lord well he's just doing his best [00:04:44]
And I said "Lord oh Lord you've got to win [00:05:22]
The Sun is down and the night is riding in [00:05:28]
That train is still on time Oh my soul is on the line [00:05:33]
Oh Lord you've got to win "[00:05:39]
