Spanish Train - Chris De Burgh[00:00:02]

There's a Spanish train that runs between[00:00:27]

Quadalquivir and old Seville [00:00:31]

And at dead of night the whistle blows [00:00:33]

And people hear she's running still [00:00:36]

And then they hush their children back to sleep [00:00:41]

Lock the doors upstairs they creep [00:00:44]

For it is said that the souls of the dead[00:00:47]

Fill that train ten thousand deep [00:00:49]

Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side [00:00:54]

His family were crying knelt in prayer before he died [00:01:00]

But above his bed just a-waiting for the dead [00:01:06]

Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye [00:01:08]

"Well God's not around and look what I've found [00:01:11]

This one's mine "[00:01:14]

Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light [00:01:17]

And shouted at the devil "Get thee hence to endless night "[00:01:22]

But the Devil just grinned and said "I may have sinned [00:01:28]

But there's no need to push me around [00:01:30]

I got him first so you can do your worst [00:01:33]

He's going underground "[00:01:36]

"But I think I'll give you one more chance"[00:01:39]

Said the Devil with a smile [00:01:42]

"So throw away that stupid lance [00:01:45]

It's really not your style" [00:01:47]

Joker is the name Poker is the game [00:01:50]

We'll play right here on this bed [00:01:53]

And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet [00:01:55]

The souls of the dead "[00:01:59]

And I said "Look out Lord he's going to win [00:02:04]

The sun is down and the night is riding in [00:02:10]

That train is dead on time many souls are on the line [00:02:14]

Oh Lord he's going to win "[00:02:20]

Well the railwayman he cut the cards[00:02:28]

And he dealt them each a hand of five[00:02:30]

And for the Lord he was praying hard[00:02:33]

Or that train he'd have to drive [00:02:36]

Well the Devil he had three aces and a king [00:02:38]

And the Lord he was running for a straight [00:02:40]

He had the queen and the knave and the nine and ten of spades [00:02:43]

All he needed was the eight [00:02:46]

And then the Lord he called for one more card [00:02:49]

But he drew the diamond eight [00:02:52]

And the Devil said to the son of God [00:02:54]

"I believe you've got it straight [00:02:57]

So deal me one for the time has come[00:02:59]

To see who'll be the king of this place [00:03:02]

But as he spoke from beneath his cloak [00:03:05]

He slipped another ace [00:03:07]

Ten thousand souls was the opening bid [00:03:11]

And it soon went up to fifty-nine [00:03:14]

But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did [00:03:16]

And he said "that suits me fine" [00:03:18]

"I'll raise you high to hundred and five [00:03:21]

And forever put an end to your sins" [00:03:24]

But the Devil let out a mighty shout "My hand wins "[00:03:26]

And I said "Lord oh Lord you let him win [00:03:35]

The sun is down and the night is riding in [00:03:40]

That train is dead on time many souls are on the line [00:03:45]

Oh Lord don't let him win "[00:03:50]

Well that Spanish train still runs between [00:03:59]

Quadalquivir and old Seville [00:04:02]

And at dead of night the whistle blows [00:04:05]

And people fear she's running still [00:04:07]

And far away in some recess[00:04:12]

The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess [00:04:15]

The Devil still cheats and wins more souls [00:04:18]

And as for the Lord well he's just doing his best [00:04:20]

And I said "Lord oh Lord you've got to win [00:04:29]

The Sun is down and the night is riding in [00:04:35]

That train is still on time Oh my soul is on the line [00:04:40]

Oh Lord you've got to win "[00:04:46]
