《Spanish Train》歌词

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

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

[00:00:31] Quadalquivir and old Seville

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:07] He slipped another ace

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:02] Quadalquivir and old Seville

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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