| | | Artist: | Chris De Burgh |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | SPANISH TRAIN | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 55 | | | | Lyrics: | there´s a spanish train that runs between
guadalquivir and old seville
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 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
or that train he´d have 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
btu as he spoke from
beneath his cloak
he slipped another ace....
ten thousand souls was the
opening bit
and it soon went up to ninety-five
but the lord didn´t see what the
devil did
and he said that suits me fine
ißll 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....
well that spanish train
still runs between
guadalquivir and old seville
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 devils still cheats and wins more souls
and as
for the lord, well, he´s just doing his best | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
