''Spanish Train''**lf****lf**There''s a Spanish train that runs between**lf**Guadalquivir and old Saville,**lf**And at dead of night the whistle blows,**lf**and people hear she''s running still...**lf****lf**And then they hush their children back to sleep,**lf**Lock the doors, upstairs they creep,**lf**For it is said that the souls of the dead**lf**Fill that train ten thousand deep!!**lf****lf**Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side,**lf**His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died,**lf**But above his bed just a-waiting for the dead,**lf**Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye,**lf**''Well God''s not around and look what I''ve found,**lf**this one''s mine!!''**lf****lf**Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light,**lf**And shouted at the Devil, ''Get thee hence to endless night!!''**lf**But the Devil just grinned and said ''I may have sinned,**lf**But there''s no need to push me around,**lf**I got him first so you can do your worst,**lf**He''s going underground!!''**lf****lf**''But I think I''ll give you one more chance''**lf**said the Devil with a smile,**lf**''So throw away that stupid lance,**lf**It''s really not your style'',**lf**''Joker is the name, Poker is the game,**lf**we''ll play right here on this bed,**lf**And then we''ll bet for the biggest stakes yet,**lf**the souls of the dead!!''**lf****lf**And I said ''Look out, Lord, He''s going to win,**lf**The sun is down and the night is riding in,**lf**That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,**lf**Oh Lord, He''s going to win!..''**lf****lf**Well the railwayman he cut the cards**lf**And he dealt them each a hand of five,**lf**And for the Lord he was praying hard**lf**Or that train he''d have to drive...**lf**Well the Devil he had three aces and a king,**lf**And the Lord, he was running for a straight,**lf**He had the queen and the knave and nine and ten of spades,**lf**All he needed was the eight...**lf****lf**And then the Lord he called for one more card,**lf**But he drew the diamond eight,**lf**And the Devil said to the son of God,**lf**''I believe you''ve got it straight,**lf**So deal me one for the time has come**lf**To see who''ll be the king of this place,**lf**But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak,**lf**He slipped another ace...**lf****lf**Ten thousand souls was the opening bid,**lf**And it soon went up to fifty-nine,**lf**But the Lord didn''t see what the Devil did,**lf**And he said ''that suits me fine'',**lf**''I''ll raise you high to a hundred and five,**lf**And forever put an end to your sins'',**lf**But the Devil let out a mighty shout, ''My hand wins!!''**lf****lf**And I said ''Lord, oh Lord, you let him win,**lf**The sun is down and the night is riding in,**lf**That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,**lf**Oh Lord, don''t let him win...''**lf****lf**Well that Spanish train still runs between,**lf**Guadalquivir and old Saville,**lf**And at dead of night the whistle blows,**lf**And people fear she''s running still...**lf**And far away in some recess**lf**The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess,**lf**The Devil still cheats and wins more souls,**lf**And as for the Lord, well, he''s just doing his best...**lf****lf**And I said ''Lord, oh Lord, you''ve got to win,**lf**The sun is down and the night is riding in,**lf**That train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line,**lf**Oh Lord, you''ve got to win...''
