Lyrics Spanish Train

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 runnin' 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 dyin' with his people by his side

His family were cryin' knelt in prayer before he died

But above his bed just a-waitin' 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 blindin' 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 goin' 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 goin' to win

The sun is down and the night is ridin' in

That train is dead on time

Many souls are on the line

Oh Lord he's goin' to win

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

And for the Lord he was prayin' hard or that train he'd have to drive

Well the Devil he had three aces and a king and the Lord

He was runnin' 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 openin' bid

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 ridin' 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 runnin' still

And far away in some recess the Lord and the Devil are now playin' chess

The Devil still cheats and wins more souls and as for the Lord well

He's just doin' his best

And I said Lord

Oh Lord You've got to win

The sun is down and the night is ridin' in

That train is still on time

Oh my soul is on the line

Oh Lord

You've got to win
