Spanish Train

Dans le style de

Chris de Burgh

Paroles

there's a spanish
train that runs
between

guadalquivir
and old saville
and at dead of night
the whistle blows

and people hear
she's running
still

and then they
hush their
children back
to sleep

lock the doors
upstairs they creep
for it is said that
the souls of the dead

fill that train ten
thousand deep

well a railwayman
lay dying
with his people by
his side

his family were
crying knelt
in prayer before
he died

but above his bed just
a-waiting for the dead
was the devil with
a twinkle in his eye

well god's not
around and look
what i've found
this one's mine

just then the lord
himself appeared
in a blinding flash
of light

and shouted at
the devil get thee
hence to endless
night

but the devil
just grinned
and said i may
have sinned

but there's no need
to push me around
i got him first so you
can do your worst
he's going underground

but i think i'll give you
one more chance
said the devil
with a smile

so throw away
that stupid lance
it's really not
your style

joker is the name
poker is the game
we'll play right
here on this bed

and then we'll bet
for the biggest
stakes yet
the souls of the dead

and i said look out lord
he's going to win
the sun is down and the
night is riding in

that train is dead on
time many souls
are on the line
oh lord he's
going to win

well the railwayman
he cut the cards
and he dealt them
each a hand of five

and for the lord he
was praying hard
for that train he'd
had to drive

well the devil he had
three aces and a king
and the lord he was
running for a straight

he had the queen and
the knave and nine
and ten of spades
all he needed
was the eight

and then the
lord he
called for one
more card

but he drew the
diamond eight
and the devil said to
the son of god

i believe you've
got it straight
so deal me one for
the time has come

to see who'll be the
king of this place
but as he spoke from
beneath his cloak
he slipped another ace

ten thousand souls
was the opening bid
and it soon went
up to fifty-nine

but the lord didn't
see what the devil did
and he said that
suits me fine

i'll raise you high to
a hundred and five
and forever put an
end to your sins

but the devil
let out
a mighty shout
my hand wins

and i said lord oh
lord you let him win
the sun is down and
the night is riding in

that train is dead on
time many souls
are on the line
oh lord don't
let him win

well that spanish train
still runs between
guadalquivir and
old saville

and at dead of night
the whistle blows
and people fear
she's running still

and far away in
some recess
the lord and
the devil

are now playing
chess
the devil still
cheats

and wins more souls
and as for the
lord well
he's just doing his best

and i said lord oh lord
you've got to win
the sun is down and
the night is riding in

that train is
still on time
oh my soul is
on the line

oh lord you've
got to win
