Spanish Train - Chris De Burgh[00:00:00]
Written by:Chris De Burgh[00:00:02]
There's a Spanish train that runs between[00:00:24]
Quadalquivir and old Seville[00:00:28]
And at dead of night the whistle blows[00:00:30]
And people hear[00:00:33]
She's running still[00:00:34]
And then they hush their children back to sleep[00:00:38]
Lock the doors upstairs they creep[00:00:41]
For it is said that the souls of the dead[00:00:43]
Fill that train ten thousand deep[00:00:46]
Well a railwayman lay dying[00:00:51]
With his people by his side[00:00:54]
His family were crying[00:00:57]
Knelt in prayer before he died[00:00:59]
But above his bed just a waiting for the dead[00:01:02]
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye[00:01:05]
Well God's not around and look what I've found[00:01:08]
This one's mine[00:01:11]
Just then the Lord himself appeared[00:01:14]
In a blinding flash of light[00:01:17]
And shouted at the Devil[00:01:19]
Get thee hence to endless night[00:01:22]
But the Devil just grinned and said I may have sinned[00:01:25]
But there's no need to push me around[00:01:27]
I got him first so you can do your worst[00:01:30]
He's going underground[00:01:33]
But I think I'll give you one more chance[00:01:36]
Said the Devil with a smile[00:01:39]
So throw away that stupid lance[00:01:42]
It's really not your style[00:01:44]
Joker is the name[00:01:47]
Poker is the game[00:01:49]
We'll play right here on this bed[00:01:50]
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet[00:01:52]
The souls of the dead[00:01:56]
And I said look out Lord he's going to win[00:02:01]
The sun is down and the night is riding in[00:02:06]
That train is dead on time[00:02:11]
Many souls are on the line[00:02:14]
Oh Lord he's going to win[00:02:17]
The railwayman he cut the cards[00:02:25]
And he dealt them each a hand of five[00:02:27]
And for the Lord he was praying hard[00:02:30]
Or that train he'd have to drive[00:02:32]
Well the Devil he had three aces and a king[00:02:35]
And the Lord he was running for a straight[00:02:37]
He had the queen and the knave[00:02:40]
And the nine and ten of spades[00:02:41]
All he needed was the eight[00:02:43]
And then the Lord he called for one more card[00:02:46]
But he drew the diamond eight[00:02:49]
And the Devil said to the son of God[00:02:51]
I believe you've got it straight[00:02:54]
So deal me one[00:02:56]
The time has come to see[00:02:58]
Who'll be the king of this place[00:02:59]
But as he spoke from beneath his cloak[00:03:02]
He slipped another ace[00:03:04]
Ten thousand souls was the opening bid[00:03:08]
Soon went up to fifty nine[00:03:11]
But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did[00:03:13]
And he said that suits me fine[00:03:15]
I'll raise you high to hundred and five[00:03:18]
And forever put an end to your sins[00:03:21]
But the Devil let out a mighty shout[00:03:23]
My hand wins[00:03:26]
And I said Lord oh Lord you let him win[00:03:32]
The sun is down and the night is riding in[00:03:37]
That train is dead on time[00:03:42]
Many souls are on the line[00:03:44]
Oh Lord don't let him win[00:03:47]
That Spanish train still runs between[00:03:56]
Quadalquivir and old Seville[00:03:59]
And at dead of night the whistle blows[00:04:02]
And people fear[00:04:04]
She's running still[00:04:06]
And far away in some recess[00:04:09]
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess[00:04:12]
The Devil still cheats and wins more souls[00:04:15]
And as for the Lord well[00:04:17]
He's just doing his best[00:04:20]
And I said Lord oh Lord you've got to win[00:04:26]
The sun is down and the night is riding in[00:04:32]
That train is still on time[00:04:37]
Oh my soul is on the line[00:04:39]
Oh Lord you've got to win[00:04:42]
