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

[00:00:02] Written by：Chris De Burgh

[00:00:24] There's a Spanish train that runs between

[00:00:28] Quadalquivir and old Seville

[00:00:30] And at dead of night the whistle blows

[00:00:33] And people hear

[00:00:34] She's running still

[00:00:38] And then they hush their children back to sleep

[00:00:41] Lock the doors upstairs they creep

[00:00:43] For it is said that the souls of the dead

[00:00:46] Fill that train ten thousand deep

[00:00:51] Well a railwayman lay dying

[00:00:54] With his people by his side

[00:00:57] His family were crying

[00:00:59] Knelt in prayer before he died

[00:01:02] But above his bed just a waiting for the dead

[00:01:05] 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

[00:01:17] In a blinding flash of light

[00:01:19] And shouted at the Devil

[00:01:22] Get thee hence to endless night

[00:01:25] But the Devil just grinned and said I may have sinned

[00:01:27] 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

[00:01:44] It's really not your style

[00:01:47] Joker is the name

[00:01:49] Poker is the game

[00:01:50] We'll play right here on this bed

[00:01:52] And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet

[00:01:56] The souls of the dead

[00:02:01] And I said look out Lord he's going to win

[00:02:06] The sun is down and the night is riding in

[00:02:11] That train is dead on time

[00:02:14] Many souls are on the line

[00:02:17] Oh Lord he's going to win

[00:02:25] The railwayman he cut the cards

[00:02:27] And he dealt them each a hand of five

[00:02:30] And for the Lord he was praying hard

[00:02:32] Or that train he'd have to drive

[00:02:35] Well the Devil he had three aces and a king

[00:02:37] And the Lord he was running for a straight

[00:02:40] He had the queen and the knave

[00:02:41] 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

[00:02:51] And the Devil said to the son of God

[00:02:54] I believe you've got it straight

[00:02:56] So deal me one

[00:02:58] The time has come to see

[00:02:59] Who'll be the king of this place

[00:03:02] But as he spoke from beneath his cloak

[00:03:04] He slipped another ace

[00:03:08] Ten thousand souls was the opening bid

[00:03:11] Soon went up to fifty nine

[00:03:13] But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did

[00:03:15] 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

[00:03:23] But the Devil let out a mighty shout

[00:03:26] My hand wins

[00:03:32] And I said Lord oh Lord you let him win

[00:03:37] The sun is down and the night is riding in

[00:03:42] That train is dead on time

[00:03:44] Many souls are on the line

[00:03:47] Oh Lord don't let him win

[00:03:56] That Spanish train still runs between

[00:03:59] Quadalquivir and old Seville

[00:04:02] And at dead of night the whistle blows

[00:04:04] And people fear

[00:04:06] She's running still

[00:04:09] 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

[00:04:17] And as for the Lord well

[00:04:20] He's just doing his best

[00:04:26] And I said Lord oh Lord you've got to win

[00:04:32] The sun is down and the night is riding in

[00:04:37] That train is still on time

[00:04:39] Oh my soul is on the line

[00:04:42] Oh Lord you've got to win
